Is This Feasible?


I would like to use a pair of monitors to handle the mid to high range frequency duties for music and movies. I would like to use them in lieu of the midrange and tweeter extant in my tower speakers. There are two ways I can think of to accomplish this. First is to disconnect the mid and tweeter in the tower and run the cable to connect to the terminals of the monitors. The second is to eliminate the connection to the tower for the mid and tweeter all together and connect cable directly to the monitors in a bi wire configuration.

Here is the equipment involved:

B&K AVR 507 (version 1)
150 watts @ 1khz @ 8 ohms
28 Amps current (peak to peak)

Energy Veritas 2.3
200 watts (recommended). Configuration would utilize two 6 inch woofers per channel.

Energy Veritas 2.1
100 watts (recommended) Configuration would utilize one 6 inch woofer / one 1 inch tweeter per channel.

My local B&K dealer has told me that this receiver is capable of driving speakers far more demanding than my 2.3's. I'm seeking Audiogon expertise in this matter. Is this configuration a possibility?
