Does't do anything bi-amping with a receiver.

Ok maybe I am wording it wrong. Is there any advantages to hooking up the surround/front high to my speakers ? And the front channels? -
None whatsoever. Please do a search in the forum, this have been covered numerous times.Main Surround -

There is a disadvantage. The more channels you use on that AVR, the less wpc it can provide. Honestly, you shouldn't expect much from a $499.00 list, $150.00 street price AVR.Political Correctness'.........defined

Found some specs, 130 W/Ch (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 1% THD, 1 Channel Driven)
That's at 6 ohms, your speakers are 8 ohms, so the actual wpc will be even less AND that's with only one channel driven AND 1% THD too boot! They don't even list the weight for this thing.Political Correctness'.........defined

Hi welcome, enjoy your receiver and speakers. Later on you will get something else.
Hooking it up normally will provide a decent listening level and there is nothing to
gain as you would still be borrowing from your single power supply on board. Hopefully
you have only a moderate size room and don't plan on getting crazy with the loudness.POLK SDA 2.3 TLS BOUGHT NEW IN 1990, Gimpod/Sonic Caps/Mills RDO-198
