Bi-Amping, best way??


I'm gonna have a play at biamping, since i have two Marantz PM6010OSE's, and wanted to know what people thought the best way of doing it was.... i'm think that i have CD into amp 1, then take tape-out from amp 1 into Aux in of Amp 2, and then have Amp 1 drive the Hi of Speaker 1 & 2, while Amp 2 drives the Lo of Speakers 1 & 2.

anyone have any thoughts in this setup, or can suggest an alternative/better.

btw the Pm6010's don't have any sort of pre-in/out.

cheers

ok, have i understood right, if i try vertical then i... split the left signal from source and feed into l/r input on amp1, and right signal from source into l/r input on amp2, then amp1 has left and right channel into hi & lo of speaker1 and amp2 will take left and right channel into hi & lo of speaker2?

am i about there, i've orded some extra interconnects and x2 phone splitter adaptors, so hopefully can have a fiddle next few days.
I belive you've got it right. I do think it is the best way if you are using 2 stereo amps.

Enjoy,

dave@z-cars.fsnet.co.uk, Yes just simply dedicate One amp to each speaker... Run both the channels with the same signal into the speaker, for example use the Left channel of the amp to into the Low section and the right channel of the amp into the top section... ONe amp running one speaker, and the other speaker gets the other whole amps 2 channels dedicated to it. Use your splitter or jumper to give the same signal to both channels on the amp... So you take your preout of the preamp left channel and feed both the stereo channels on that amp,, and same for the right preout dedicated to your other stereo amp.
What if you are using Balanced interconnects? Are they any quality Balanced spliiters ?
Sure, Oz. Purist Audio, Nordost, etc., all make y-adapters. I used a pair from Cobalt Cables, perhaps not the best but they did work.
