Methinks this might be a foolish question but, then again, I've never been accused of being that wise:
I'm using the above receiver in a 5.1 setting. My front speakers are 4 ohm PSB Stratus Gold i's. They are bi-ampable. Works great so far except that when playing music (stereo) at higher levels (-5.0 db) for a moderate length of time, the amp will shutdown due to heat.
Lots of space surrounds the receiver. I'm not playing nearly as loud as my previous receiver (Pioneer VSX-1016) which was also not rated for 4 ohm loads.
My question is this: if I bi-amp zone 2 to my speakers, do you think the use of the currently unused amp section will allow me to drive my 4 ohm speakers to high levels with less heat related shutdown?
Thanks,
G.
