Does Bi-amping double the power?


Hi guys,

I have a Marantz PM6005 (35w/ch) in the bedroom and I'm wondering if using the A and B speakers terminals to one set of speakers would increase the peak power to 70w/ch?

In the same vein - If hooked up to 2 sets of speaker, do both sets get 35w/ch or does that get split in half?

Thanks!

TO DOUBLE THE WATTS YOU NEED AN AMP THAT WILL SWITCH TO MONO EX. MCINTOSH 7270  HOOK UP BOTH AMPS AND GO FROM 270 TO 540 WATTS.
What you're describing will not increase the power delivered to your loudspeakers and is not "biamping." If you want to biamp a pair of speakers, you'll need two stereo (two-channel) amps, or four mono amps, or two mono amps and one stereo amp.
