First post, so be gentle...

I have several multi-channel amps w/ lots of amp channels available and would like to try bi-amping my speakers. I do not own a 990 but am seriously considering it.

I am wondering that if one intends to bi-amp (not bi-wire) with the 990, can the Zone 2 outs be used to source a set of terminals rather than 'Y-ing' off the Zone 1 outs? Asked another way, can Zone 1 & Zone 2 output from the same source simultaneously?

Example: Use LEFT FRONT from Zone 1 to source the tweeters and LEFT FRONT from Zone 2 to source the mid/woofer of the same speaker.

I like the idea of going direct from pre-amp to amp channel w/o splitting the signal, plus it save on buying a 'Y' adapter.

If the 990 can't do this, does anyone know of another HT pre-amp that can?

Love the Saloon forum. Thanks.
