Sean, thanks for your response. I should also have stated that my preamp for 2 channel is a Cary 2002 with tubes and a HT bypass. To split the signal, I use a simple RCA "Y" splitter from the preamp to the Sherbourn amp. Is this configuration likely to cause me any problem? You are right, I love the sound with the bi-amp and have already decided that I will need another amp in order to complete the system.
Bi-Amp Question
I have a Sherborne 7 channel amp which is a mono design with independent channels. My speakers are B&W 802's which are designed for bi-amp or bi-wire. I currently have only left and right speakers. Is it ok to use 2 of the amplifier's channels for each of the speakers? What are the disadvantages of using the amp in this fashion, if any? Lastly, would the 200 watts be too much for the mid and tweeters? Thanks for your input as well as a great forum and marketplace.
