The AVR VS Amplifier dilemma:-

[avr]

Thank u.. I will give it a try..

But both amp uses same powersupply which may be factor to consider, but in your case the Onkyo AVR 3010 is capable of driving your B&W 683 very easily in bi-amp mode.

Thank u.. I will give it a try..

I use this technique to drive my bedroom speakers (variation of Selah's Tempesta Extreme) from my Arcam AVR 400. Keep in mind that you might not gain too much as the power supply for both amplifiers is the same and that both LF and HF amplifiers are actually producing the full bandwidth as the crossover is after the amplifier and not before the amplifier as in the case of TRUE bi-amping. Still it does not hurt to try. You can even use different speaker wire for LF and HF sections.

Before doing this though I would reduce treble to protect the tweeter.
