Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen
I have 3A sigs and one sub was "OK" but two are so much better, the speakers open up in this configuration, it was as if they were holding their breath then exhaled and took a relaxed breath and started breathing normally! If you can afford the se... 
Magnepan 1.6 fronts-what non-maggies center/sur
You can run a "ghost" center,no center at all, works surprisingly well. I ran my 3A sigs this way.

Vandersteen Quatro or 5 used. 
Newbie Question
Find an amp you can audition hook it up to "main out" and see what happens with the receiver. Make sure to check that the receiver's five other channels can be used in this configuration. My old Pioneer could, my new Onkyo NR-905 can't.

Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps

Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
Cbman what have you decided ? 
Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps
Bob, Vandersteen recommends taking the imput impedence ( 22 kohm) and doubling when running balanced = 44 kohm. When I split the cable coming from the xover to both channels is the xover seeing 44 kohm & 44kohm which would be the total 88 kohm...
