Anonymous | Has anyone ever tried to bi-amp with an AV receiver? My NAD has pre-outs so i think it would, in theory, work with my speakers which are bi-ampable. My only hesitation is my receiver's manual says "Never connect speaker outputs and the speaker outputs of an external amplifier to the same speakers" |

Anonymous | I am considering purchasing a second stereo amplifier, but for arguments sake, lets say yes i own a second amp with identical gain to my receiver |

Anonymous | Thanks however the article only covers biamping with 2 external amps, this i know how to do, my question is if the NAD sends equal signal to the preouts and amped outs, if so I'd like to use a seperate for the low freq, the AVR for the mids and high. Has anyone tried this? |
