I've been trying to figure this out a bit. If I bi-amp my mains to the same amp, what I don't understand is how all 4 channels of power can go to the mains? I have my amp hooked up to the Rotel with lines running from the L/R, L/R surrounds, and center.
If I listen to let's say, 2 channel stereo, why would the rotel send the power from the L/R surrounds outputs to the Mains? There is no signal..right?
If I have a Y-splitter, I have the male ends going into two seperate amp channels on the Rotel for one speaker, then I only have 1 input (female) to connect the 4 speaker wires too from the speaker iteself?
Sorry I'm such an idiot here! I just don't understand how the Left and Right rear outputs to my Amp will suddenly be sending information to my Mains just because I hooked them up from the amp to the speaker? I feel like because the Sherbourn has 5 monoblock channels, it's just not going to 'share' power to the mains like it could on other amps.
Again, I apologize for my ignorance. Thanks for your patience!
