Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help?

Hey guys I’m using a pair of Polk rti a7s with a Denon Poa 2800 amplifier and Denon receiver 2801. I just bought another power yamha PC2002M power amplifier which has a little more kick then the denon 2800. But I will be giving the denon 2800 to my dad when he gets back from his trip. I just want to know is it possible to hook up the 2 power amps to my setup at once ? And is it worth will I see a big difference in sound quality and performance ? I’m just curious and want to do a bit of experimenting only if it’s possible? Don’t want to risk blowing anything up. Thanks guys

If the Polks have 2 sets of input terminals, you could try bi-amping them.
You'll need additional interconnects. Not sure it’s worth doing but if you want to play...

@roberjerman I think we've covered that. He could sell both amps and get a better single one that would be the best solution. But then again, you don't think amps sound different.
The guy wants to try it out, play, and learn and wants to check in if it's okay. It's low-end kit. Let the fun and learning begin!

You understand what you are doing? Whether it sounds good or not, I am all for experimenting and learning. Sure, try it and see. You won't break anything unless you short out connections etc. That is your risk. Take care not to set the volume to max.
