i'm thinking this might be the ideal purist multichannel setup(if you dont want to use a centre speaker)

if the amps are identical and you level match on the player then there should be no problems as far as i see? provided you use the remote to controll gain.

and you loose the option of bass management.

i'm thinking of eventually flogging my arcam a85 which has a multichannel preamp board fittted, in favour of 2x naim nait5i.

is there maybe something i'm overlooking. anyone else tried this type of setup?

cheers

how about using two NAD c352? It have 2 pre-outs so you can link both and still have 1 spare pre-out that you can use for the sub or .1 plus the 4 speaker terminals. That should now be 4.1? I actually hoping this setup for a stereo mode for bi-amping since its the only thing i can buy at my place and c352 have excellent user feedbacks and reviews.

thanks for the suggestion.

if i do it i'll probably use 2x nait5i or unico. but the 352 is a good amp, owned one last year. why not get the 370 rather than bi-amp with two 352's? have you got really inefficient speakers that one 352 is not enough? its drives most speakers easilly.

Im just hoping to delve into bi-amp sometime in the future. Since budget is tight, i have to plan my purchases ahead of time. I just about to buy my first c352. So maybe i'll explore that 370 later when i have the itch and budget to upgrade my not yet bought c352 (which i will within the next two weeks, hopefully.)

Thanks.

Sorry I didn't get to your question when you emailed me Roderick. I've been involved in a home remodel and only have brief moments to look at the forum. I've not heard of biamping with 2 NAD integrated's. Bridging 2 for high power mono operation yes, but not biamping. So in other words I'm not sure as I am not using NAD gear anymore since I discovered tubes. Good luck.
