Another Bi-Amp Question


I have B&W 805's for front speakers and a Pioneer Elite A/V Receiver (VSX92THX). The speakers max power handling is 120W and the Receiver max output is 130 watts into all channels. Here is my question- I can biamp the fronts using the surround rear speaker outputs. Would I need to worry about frying my speakers? In otherwords, would the B&W handle max 120W into each driver? Or, would I be putting out (max ) 130w X 2 into each speaker?). Sounds awesome the way it is but if I can grab a bit more power w/o damaging anything, why not? (It is an HT system only).

Thanks,

I believe you guys are correct for the frequency range it will be driven at.I'm thinking of full range drivers.
And what is the relevance of biamping for full-range drivers? Why not simply use a better, more appropriate amp?
Theoretically, is it 260 watts into the speaker?
no, it's 130 watts into each speaker. Not theoretical. Actual.

Given your responses so far - if I were you I'd try it. it'll cost you nothing but your time (except you'll need another speaker run unless you already are using biwire shotgun cables), and it will do no harm.
Thanks. I do already have the cables. Just didn't want to fry the speaker. Thanks, everybody.
