This answers a Q from me too. I'm considering using the 1050 for amping the top of Studio40's and CC and letting a Parasound855 push the bottom. The Paradigm Studio40's have a biwire imput(remove a clip) They still pass through a crossover, so my only problem would be dialing in a balance between the 1050 & the 855(which has a pot on each channel).
Any opinions welcome. Just looking for a cheap way to bi amp.
