I am demoing some speakers in the house right now. Specifically, JBL Ti10ks, 6 ohm, 91 dB sensitivity.
I was thinking about testing these speakers on a old Denon receiver I have sitting around, DRA-825R, that's rated at 90 wpc into 8 ohm. Since the speakers have the ability to bi-amp, I was thinking about using the Speaker A terminals for one set of binding post and Speaker B terminals for the other set. Hoping this would give the speakers a little bit more juice . . .
That is until I started reading the manual for the old receiver (can't believe I still have the literature), and it stated that "when connecting to 2 sets of speakers, please use speaker with resistance of more than 12 ohm for optimal performance. Speakers with less than 12 ohm is not recommended under such circumstance."
Would using 2 different sets of binding post on the same speaker be essentially the same as connecting to 2 separate speakers? Since I am demoing a friend's speakers, I'd rather not repay his kindness by damaging his speakers.
thanks,
