Hi all
I have a Denon 789 receiver that is capable of biamping from Surround Back to Speaker A or B. I just bought a pair of Polk Monitor 75Ts to replace a pair of Polk bookshelf speakers. So today I hooked them up. I removed the bridges between the posts on the speakers and then wired them up. In the excitement, I forgot to set the receiver to bi-amp. When I tried the speakers, I heard sound but no amplification. It sounded like playing vinyl on a turntable without a phono pre-amp. Then I realized I didn't have biamp enabled. Once I did that, the speakers came to life.
My question is I would have figured I still get some normal sound with bass/treble/volume from the speakers without biamp enabled. So I'm wondering if the biamp setup is actually working. Can someone clarify this for me?
Thanks!
