marantz sr5006 can i do a bi amping to my heco speakers
- Thread starter nagasimha
- Start date
Let's presume that your speakers are bi-amp able. How do you intend to hook it up sir?

Yes.. it is possible... If your speakers have Bi-amp termials, you need to remove the clip (or) Jumper between the termials first....
Connect the Left & Right output of the AVR to the LF of the towers....
Connect the Surround back left & right channel output of the AVR to the HF terminals of the towers....
But before that you need to change the speaker setting in your AVR as Bi-amp....
I have done this on my Onkyo TX NR 818 AVR and been using it for close to 7 months time...

Hi elangoas
Nice to see that you have done some experimentation with bi-amping. So can you share some more details on the overall improvement in SQ with bi-amping ? I have seen some dismissing the importance of bi-amping (i.e passive bi-amping) and I also read some reviews of some AV receivers which were claimed to perform better with bi-amping. You have been with bi-amping for 7 months and it means you must have seen a better performance. Please throw some more light on your experiment.

Hi Shanmune,
I have used the same speakers with two different Onkyo AVR's... One of them was Onkyo HTR series which was not Bi-amp capable (Very Old AVR) Pre HDMI Era
hyeah: & my new one Onkyo TX NR 818....Even in my new AVR i had used without Bi-amping the same speakers....
The difference is not much but the overall feel is really good....
I think the AVR has much better control of the speaker when bi-amped...
4 Amplifiers driving the same drivers instead of 2 amplifiers, i think have more control on the speaker driver....
Moreover this improvement could be because the AVR runs on dual differential DAC mode which i believe is using two sets of DAC for HF & LF seperately....

Even I heard mixed opinion about biamping, some people say, not much improvement and some say good improvement. I also tried passive biamping but I feel there is no significant improvement with my old Onkyo 609. I read in internet though there is more power the crossover remains the same and there wont be much change.
I think we need to do some measurement (objective instead of subjective) with and with out biamping at same settings to check. I mean an A to B comparison.
Can some experts give there opinion on whether passive biamping will help in improving the performance or not?
Thanks,
Renjith

Can some expert share your thoughts about passive biamping, is it really beneficial or no?

I am not an expert... But would like to share my experience with passive Bi-amping...
I have done passive Bi-amping for Sonodyne Sonus 2605 FS in few types..
First one was Marantz AVR + Stereo power amplifier with FS & one with AVR (Onkyo TX NR 818) + FS ...
Both of them equally good in performance... When a stereo power amplifier was used, the bass output from the FS was solid....
With Onkyo Bi-amping the AVR (Using the Surround back channel) it is equally good....
Now the Q - does passive Bi-amping make difference ? Yes. It does according to my above experiment.... Difference is not night & day... But perceivable... You can easily feel it...

Thanks Elangos. Even I did with AVRs surround but I didnt see a big difference.
Probably I might have not checked the difference immediately, with and without biamping.I will do it once more and check with an A to B comparison.
Can you tell me how you did biamping using AVR and stereo power amplifier?
Thanks

Hi Renjith,
Which AVR did you use for bimaping your speakers ? Could you please tell how did you do the bi-amping with your FS....
For doing bi-amping with AVR + stereo amplifier, your AVR should have Pre-outs for L & R channels..... Connect the AVR's preout L & R channels to stereo power amplifiers L & R in.....Once you have connected, connected the LF driver of the Floor standers to it....
Connect the HF of the towers to the AVR's L & R output directly....
Hope i am clear....Let me know if wasn't clear anywhere...

Hi Elangos,
I have NAD T757 and it has preout.
You are using stereo amp as a power amp.I got your point.
Thanks.

Cool Renjith...You can also use a stereo amp as power amp, if they have the provision of removing the jumper... I was using Sonodyne Stereo Power amplifier SPA 202 when i checked....

You are telling about speaker jumper?
Speaker has for sure.

No no... I was referring to the stereo amplifier link as Jumper... May be jumper is not the right word to use in this context

Ok. I will check if it is there in stereo amp or not.
