Speaker 'A' Runs With 5.1/Sub- Is Speaker 'B' Output Full Range? (1 Viewer)

[James Edward]

I'm setting up a system for someone, and will be utilizing the 'B' speaker outputs; are they generally full-range, even when the main speakers are crossed over at the receiver?
I was not planning on a sub for the 2nd pair of speakers, but would it be needed?
The receiver in question is a NAD T753...

Thanks for any thoughts...

Usually A/B speakers are meant for either/or, so they will use the same settings.

And if you plan on using both speakers at the same time they will each only get half the power. It will also put a larger strain on the receiver, so be careful with loud volumes.

A and B are exactly the same thing. They are physically the same amp channel, so whatever is playing on A is also on B. Be careful running two sets of speakers at the same time this way.

I just hooked up the 'B' speakers today, and they do not utilize the sub, so somehow the receiver runs them full range.

I know this is different than the replies, so I figured I'd post the results...

Thanks.
