First, welcome to this wacky world of audio. With your equipment I’d use the monoblocs alone to drive the speakers as they likely have better parts and power supplies (along with more power) than your AVR. And as Duke mentioned, by all means pull the speakers out 5’ or as much as you can as that in itself will likely improve the sound you’re getting significantly if you currently have them closer to the wall. Hope this helps.
Getting the most out of my Definitive Tech bp2000's
I was wondering if I could get some help getting the best and most sound out of my DefTech bp2000 speakers. I'm fairly new when it comes to home Audio, so be patient with me. I recently aquired the bp2000 speakers along with 2 Marantz MA500U monoblick amps. I know that the bp2000's are Bipolar and have a built in amp for the subwoofer. Will it produce a better sound if I take the bridge off of the h/m/l terminals on the back of the speaker and use the mono block amp for the mid/high speakers on it? I know my reciever (Denon AVR-9010) puts out 90 watts per channel, is that enough for the DefTech speakers? It's all a bit confusing to me
