Is it possible to use 4 amp outputs to bi-amp main speakers in a 5 speaker config?

If so, how do I split pre-amp output to two amp inputs?

May be a dumb question..

Thanks in advance,

JDB

Yes, it is possible! You'll need RCA splitters to divide the pre-amp output signal so you can connect each pre-amp signal to two amp channels. Radio Shack has some simple ones, but there are also a few more exotic offerings floating around.

Gonk may be talking about these:

I use the 6 inch version. I biamp L,R, & C and think these cables are fine.

Yep, that's it, and I'd recommend the 6" version.

Hey Gonk,

I didn't know that you could bi-amp the Paridigm Referance Studio CC. Hmmm...may have to look into that when I finaly settle down and buy a house.

Studio CC? Oh, yeah, it's bi-wire / bi-amp capable.
