My speakers are NHT 2.5i, which are currently hooked up the way you described. As I mentioned in a previous mail, I had to use Y adaptor to send signals from 950 to 4 channels on Anthem PAV7 to bi-amp NHT.
I have 2.5i for about 4 years but haven't exploited its potential with Denon receiver 2700 until recently when I bought Anthem PAV7 and 950. My system is now good enough for me, except the source (Toshiba 4700 DVD player) that can be upgraded to something like Denon 2900.
