I am running a denon 1913 to two tsi300 (bi-amped) front speakers, a PSW10 sub and a pioneer center. For some reason my receiver keeps turning off at moderately high volume but I cannot figure out why. Is this the receiver or the speakers that cannot handle the power? Receiver is in the open and wouldn't have any heat issues so I am concerned there could be too much power going to the tsi but i am not sure. Any help would be fantastic!

    run them off the fronts only, bi-amping them puts more strain on the AVR's amp, and less power per channel, good luck with your set-up, definitely not too much power, is there such a thing?

    thanks, I didn't know that bi-amping put more strain on the AVR...thats interesting. I'll try that and see the result!

    i dont know how it works really, i was told that multiple times when i asked about doing it with mine, a true bi amp requires two separate amps, if you look at the receiver specs, i believe the power rating is given for 2 channels driven, so you'll only get that power running 2 or less channels from you avr

    I have the same receiver and use tsi400 as surrounds and have no issues with them. I recommend you don't bi amp the tsi300s and make sure all your speaker connections are solid. Unfortunately our receiver is nowhere near the capacity of overpowering a set of floor standing speakers :/

    Thanks Oleon, I appreciate it! All connections are good to go (banana clipped) and I have removed the bi-amp and will test that. This all makes me wonder if I should take my receiver back (its brand new) and buy the in-command series. I listen to a lot of live music and I want to be able to get the most out of these speakers.

    I hope it works out for you. I too plan to upgrade to the in-command series for the sole purpose of pre outs/more power.

    something with your connections/ setting was wrong. Double check the manual for correct cable and avr settings. Biamping doesn't do much but certainly doesn't hurt either. You had a problem, it was not the biamping..
