To say I a newb would be an understatment.
I recently purchased an Onkyo 818 and using it to power my Phil 2's and 170 SE Ascends. The Phil's feel like they need more power... I don't hear them open up till I hit 20 on my Onkyo.
They are 4 ohm rated... So can I use the Crown XLS 1500 as a Amp for my L/R and set then run it through the Onkyo for sound?
Would I benefit from this? Can I bi-amp then? I have heard various things about bi-amping...some say it does nothing.
Finally...is there something better out there in this price range?
Thanks all!
