| Re: Bi-amp or... Hi personally would say bi-amp, 125w per speaker driver is enough power really unless you have a really big room. Bi- amping with give a smoother and better defined sound. See how you like the sound bi-amped and then upgrade, if you can up the power to 200w per driver all the better. | ||||

| Re: Bi-amp or... I would go with bi-amping assuming the ams have great sound, and they do.

| Re: Bi-amp or... So is it better to just let those two extra channels do nothing? (This is not a sarcastic question. ) | ||||

. So I would recommend you do what you want, but tell the OP to save his money and keep the amp he has. | |||||

| Re: Bi-amp or... Hi i would agree keep the amp for the time being and upgrade when the op is ready, but would also say 200-250watt is fine. I think each of my drivers sees around 200-225watt for the mid bass and sub-bass into 4 ohms via a tri-amp setup and would say they could still do with around 50-100w more, buts thats my preference. The extra power adds better dynamics, image ,handling of the speakers, extra real loudness and so on. I once ran some 50watt pioneer mid speakers with a 300w p.a. power amp and they loved it. Also maybe the op could then use a decent active cross-over as it adds so much, definitely one of the best upgrades for me so far was going active.
