So I just purchased a set of CM9 and CM Center (Original Series in impeccable shape and less than half of the series 2!) I also recently purchased a Denon AVR-X4000. And I have an Outlaw Audio Model 7500 amp in my arsenal. Currently, the jumpers are in place and I have 12ga wire connecting them to my amp. I'm thinking of experimenting a little and seeing if there is significant reason to go with a bi amped setup instead. Also, the Outlaw audio is pushing my front 3 and my 2 rears.
1. If I bi-amp the speakers and use 4 channels of my Outlaw amp, I will only have 1 channel left for my center. Will there be a big difference in output if the L & R are biamped and the center not?
2. My rears can be powered from my receiver if I use all 5 channels of the amp for the Front and Center, but will I lose my powered zone2 from the Denon? If yes, then I can add a 2 channel (Emotiva XPA-200) I have laying around collecting dust. Sound reasonable?
3. Is there any real significance to bi-amping? What Crossover settings should I use? I'm assuming this is built into the Denon x4000 once I choose the bi-amp feature. Correct?
Thanks,
Joe
