Another Bi-Amp Question


I have B&W 805's for front speakers and a Pioneer Elite A/V Receiver (VSX92THX). The speakers max power handling is 120W and the Receiver max output is 130 watts into all channels. Here is my question- I can biamp the fronts using the surround rear speaker outputs. Would I need to worry about frying my speakers? In otherwords, would the B&W handle max 120W into each driver? Or, would I be putting out (max ) 130w X 2 into each speaker?). Sounds awesome the way it is but if I can grab a bit more power w/o damaging anything, why not? (It is an HT system only).

Thanks,

Cerrot, I think I understand your question and the answer is- that even if you biamp using the two rear channels it will not double the power but will still be 130 watts to each driver and will not hurt your speakers. I can't say if you will notice a difference or not, but hey give it a try and see. Good Luck!
