Hi,

I have plans of eventually trying out 3 pairs of Eminent Technology LFT-8a's for the front stage, in a "stacked configuration ("The Poor Man's IRS V" for the front 3 channels). The infamous LFT-8's of course have dual binding posts for biamping. So, to take advantage of that would require a 7 channel amplifier AND a 5 channel amplifier for the front 3 channels (4 channels of amplifier output available for EACH channel, 12 channels total). With that said, I would have to use a Y splitter on each XLR output on the back of a Model 990, and another Y splitter on each of the unbalanced RCA outputs. Sounds crazy, but believe me...if this is possible, this setup would be AWESOME!

For the record, I'm currently running a single pair of LFT-8a's, biamped to a Golden Theater GTX-A 5 channel amplifier with a Golden Theater GTX-1 preamp/processor. No center or rear channels as of yet. I also currently have 2 Ascendant Avalanche 15's laying around that I plan to put in separate 300 liter Sonosub enclosures, driven by 600-800w per channel from a pro amplifier of some sort. In other words, I'm no where near my goals yet.

Hopefully, simultaneous utilization of both types of outputs on the Model 990 is possible. If so, are there any negative results from doing this? I've personally never heard of anyone doing it.

Thanks in advance!
