Hello everyone,
First off let me say what I have. I have an Onkyo RC-160 receiver, Energy RC-10 mains (bi-amped before today...), RC-mini center, and Take Classic surrounds.
My father recently bought RC-mini speakers, which i thought were to replace the Take Classics. He actually bought these to put on top of the RC-10s... He is planning to connect the RC-Minis to the Surround Back slots. I previously had the RC-10 bi-amped using the Main L/R and the Surround Back L/R.
Obviously he has music only in his mind - he wants to play it on the "all stero" setting. I'd have to disable the RC-minis when watching a movie.
Wouldn't the RC-10's bi-amped sound better than what he wants to do? Seems like such a waste. I would rather have them as surrounds... or maybe even Front Highs, but I dont really feel like installing Front Highs.
The Front High ports on the rc-160 receiver are the spring clamp kinda, while the others... you screw it to tighten. Any difference in quality? Also, is there a reason they did that?
Thank you for your time,
Rich
