Hi All, I'm currently in the construction phase of my dedicated home theater and I'm already thinking of an upgrade. My current set-up is 7.2:
Fronts - Paradigm Studio 100 v.5
Center - Paradigm CC-690
Sides/Rears - ADP-590
(2)Subs - SVS PB13-Ultra
Amps - Emotiva XPA-2, and (2) XPA-5's (for future Atmos speakers)
Pre/Pro - Marantz AV-7702
My plans are to do Atmos so I bought an extra XPA-5 to power those. So when this is all done I'll be at 7.2.4 system. My problem is that I'll have an unused amp channel. I was considering upgrading the amps to two (2) Outlaw 7-channel amps to power the entire system. That would leave me with three (3) unused channels, which I thought about using to Bi-Amp the front sound stage. My questions are:
1 - How could I go about hooking this up? If I'm not mistaken, I'd be using all my pre/pros XLR outs for all 11 channels and wouldn't have any left over to Bi-Amp?
2 - Is there a "T" or something to split the signal to 2 different amp channels? Would that even work?
3 - Would this whole idea be a waste of time and money since what I have now would work just fine and I'm attempting to re-invent the wheel for no good reason?
Thanks,
G.C.
