Hello Jeffloistarca I guess my question to you is do you like what you hear? Some spkrs sound better when each has a dedicated pwr supply. I don't know much about totem but if they gave you an option to biwire experiment with your ears. I have a pair of meadowlark kestrals that I can biwire, but when I tried a pair of Goertz cables on the top end and then used jumpers lo and behold the jumpers sounded better. Like I said use your ears. Good listening.
Biamping progress- but is it ideal?
And the odessey continues. I'm biamping my office system, here's what I've done. I have a NAD 7100 receiver, and a NAD 2100 amp (NAD recommends the 2100 as a biamp with the 7100, same amp). As per NAD's website, I removed the shorting link from the right preamp output on the reciever, and used an interconnect to connect to the 2100 amp's left input, no problem's. Here's where I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing, speaker connections. My Totem Rokk speakers are bi-wirable, with shorting bars, which I removed. I then ran 4 ft runs of 10 gauge wire from the receiver, one run form the Speaker "A" left output, one from the Speaker "B" left output to my right speaker. I repeated the same thing with the 2100 amplifier to the left speaker. When I push the Speaker A and B buttons on the receiver, and amp, all drivers are functional. The question is, what I've done works, but is it the best way to do it? The only option I see is leaving the shorting bars on the Rokk's and using a single pair of speaker wires per side.Thanks, Jeff
