Bi-amping...help appreciated


I'm fiddling with my office system, and need your guidance. I have a NAD7100 Receiver, and a NAD 2100 amplifier (same amp specs) I'd like to hook up to my Totem Rokk speakers (they are bi-wirable). The 7100 receiver has jumpers to bypass the amp if desired, and a switch to convert it to a monoblock, ditto for the 2100 amp, swtich to convert it to monoblock. What's the best way to hook this system up, feed the left channel preamp output to the receiver's amp section (leave the jumper in place), and remove the right jumper and feed the right preamp output to the 2100 amp? What's the best wiring scheme to hook up the amps to the bi-wirable speakers? Want to make sure I'm doing this right. Thanks, Jeff

You're in luck! Both of the pieces are NAD. There is extensive documentation from NAD on doing this. It is discussed in their sales literature, but not in detail. They do recommend it as the logical upgrade path. While I do have an NAD amp, I've never needed to do it. But, just check with NAD or your dealer. You'll get the answers you need.
