Can I bi-amp my speakers with a Denon 3802?


I have just gotten some Paradigm Studio 60s and was wondering if I can bi-amp the speakers with a single Denon 3802 reciever? It has 7 discrete amplifiers and I am only using 5. Is this possible? And how would I do it?

Passive bi-amping IMO, is not worth the effort.
You will not increase the dynamic range or prevent low frequency signals from impacting the high frequency response, as in active bi-amping.
One of the main benefits(maybe THE main benefit) of active bi-amping is the lack of a lossy, passive crossover network.

Adding a powered subwoofer and high-passing the mains would be closer to a true bi-amped system, and would absolutely dwarf passive bi-amping in its effectiveness at increasing the dynamic range and clarity of your system.
