I am considering bi-amping my system. Looks like my better half is going to get me a new Class D audio amp for Christmas to replace my older Adcom GF545. That in and of itself is great, but it got me to thinking about using both of the amps, since there really isn't anything wrong with the Adcom.. That said, I do have a few questions. First is that the Class D audio is capable of over two hundred watts per channel and the Adcom is capable of over 100 watts per side. The nice thing about the Class D amp is that is has output gain controls on the back of the amp. As a result, I should be able to match its' output to the Adcom's. Could be a bit tricky but I think is should not be that difficult. Would that make sense or am I going the wrong direction with that?
The second question that I have is that I have a Beepre. It has one set of RCA's out. Do I just use a Y connector or cable into the different amps or is there some else that I should do to split the signal?
PS. my speakers are already set up for bi-amping. In fact from what I have read they do respond nicely to it.
