Denon 1802 and Bi Amping
I am thinking of trying to bi amp my current setup. I currently am
using my Denon 1802 which is 5.1 to power a 2 channel set up with Tyler Addisson monitors. I recently added a NAD 2200 amp that I had sitting around to the preout on the Denon because I like the dynamics and sound of the NAD amp better. All works OK. but since my speakers have two sets of binding posts and since I already have the second amp ,NAD, and wire I figured I would see if their is a better sound with bi-amping. Am I right in thinking that I would have to remove the jumper to the crossover on the speakers and hook the low freq to the NAD amp speaker outs and then hook the high freq to the Denon speaker outs ? I plan to hook up the "B" front speaker terminals from the Denon (terminals intended for a second room)and then set the speaker buttons on front of the Denon to A+B. I would think that the differences in the power (NAD 100wpc , Denon 80wpc) should not make much difference. Also if they would not be compatible , could I instead keep it all in the Denon with the front "A" for low and the front "B" for the high. Thanks in advance for any opinions, especially if someone has had experience doing this. |

You'd also need an electronic crossover, if I read your post correctly.
