Need Help with Technical Question

Hi everyone. I need help with a technical question, and I'm hoping the collective genius of this group can help me out.

We are downsizing our living quarters, and moving from a house to an apartment. This means I can no longer have the home theater system in one room, and the stereo system in another room.

What I'd like to do is have my home theater receiver and my Plinius 8200 MkII integrated amp both connected to my main speakers (Snell B Minor). Since the Snell speakers are equipped for bi-wiring, I can have the home theater receiver connected to one pair of speaker terminals, and have the Plinius connected to the other pair of speaker terminals. I would use the Snells' jumper strips connecting the two pair of speaker terminals.

I turn off the home theater receiver when it's not in use, but I leave the Plinius on all the time. Is it possible that I will damage the Plinius by having it on, and connected to the speakers, when the home theater receiver is on and powering the speakers?

Thanks, everyone, for your advice.

Paul,
Call Vinnie at Plinius and tell him exactly what you want to do.
He is a good guy and will help.
Actually, a diagram is the safest way to proceed with any kind of discussion regarding wiring.
Leaving the Plinius on, per se, is not a problem, since it is designed to be left on. But the exact parameters of your question are best referred to the US Distributor, Vinnie Galbo, in the form of that specific drawing.
If the distribution has changed contact Plinius directly with the diagram. (Their web is on the net obviously) The designers are good men and extremely helpful. They will not take you in the wrong directon.
Good Luck,
Larry R. Staples
