i have a onkyo 898 set up with 7.1 ,first what is biamping second can it bedone with this amp if so will it make a differance
Vince, there's no need to discuss biwiring, it has absolutely nothing to do with bamping.
Sure, however Biwiring is often included in or even mistaken for the idea of "Biamping" by some here on the forum [and beyond]. I thoguht it would be best to make clear the 3 forms, and what each does-- as I didn't know exactly what the original poster had already read.
I'm not completely opposed to Biwiring- as although personally don't think it does anything... I've learned that I don't know everything (despite my attempts to look like I do).
Passive biamping does offer some real advantages: certainly more power to the components (each one getting a dedicated amp channel). I'd prefer active biamping become popular in HT- but unless we're talking HIGH END, I'm doubtful it will catch on.
