Bi-amping KEF iQ9's with Rotel 1070's
Did you remove the jumpers on the back of the speakers? 
benefits of adding a power amp to a budget system?
Since nobody asked: How good do you think the pre-amp section of the HK is? Are there pre-amp outs? If the pre-amp section in the HK sucks, then it doesn't matter what you hook up to it; it's still going to suck.

What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
My HD went up in flames while my backup was down. So, I re-ripped everything, but forgot to turn off copy protection. So, while I could play the music on my computer, I could not stream to my Squeezebox. So, I highlighted my music directory, and h... 
What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need
There's also a legal issue here. By selling them, you know longer own the rights to listen to the music. I'm no attorney, and I'm not an expert in copyright law. I have over 1300+ CD's ripped, and backed up, on a hard drive and I'm not getting rid...
