I am using a Parasound Hint 6 integrated to drive my B&W 606 S2's. It's rated at 160 wpc. Also in my system is a Carver Sunfire Cimema with 5channels driven 200wpc. Currently the Sunfire is only being used to drive center and surrounds leaving 2 channels free. Those channels have no source input. Is there any reason I can't use them to bi-amp the B&W's effectively giving them 360wpc? My interest lie in having the power to listen at lower volumes with clarity.

@kr4 Thanks. I started thinking about it and came to the same conclusion.

@kr4  you will need some way to make sure that the gain of the two amps is identical

Is there any means of doing that?

@imhififan I think I'm going to leave as is.

@mrdecibel  Hey, there's some things to think about. I just received within the last month the Parasound, the B&W's and two REL t7i's. Still trying to dial in the RELs but getting there. I think I will probably stick to using the Parasound integrated to drive my mains as it has HT bypass so I can cut out the receiver completely when I am listening to music. Enjoying everything so far!
