Where can i find information on the different setups on amp, preamp, bi amping.Im really lost as where to go from here.My amp is a Denon 3802 and i was looking at a Nad T763 would this amp be a all around good power source for the RTi12 or What would be a good solution to beef up the denon..under 500 bucks

Just use the SEARCH feature and enter as many keywords as you like. Most subjects have been covered in detail at one time or another. Here's an example of whats available just on Bi-amping:

Hi minime. The NAD is just another receiver. You already have a top notch receiver with your Denon. I have the same one. I beefed up my speakers by adding 2 separate amplifiers. The 2ch Parasound 1500A for my Polk RTA 8T's & the Outlaw 200 Mblock for my center. I let the Denon handle everything else. It has made a huge difference.

So start looking a separate amplifiers to plug into your pre-outs, also keep an eye on the clubs flea market for amps that might come up for sale.

Congrats on your purchase...

What, if any, other speakers did you grab for center and surrounds?

My center speaker is a Klipsch KG2 and my rears are JBL lx300's. Im going to get those LXi5 this week end and start shoping for a power amp for my fronts.

You mean FXi5? Before you do that, get a CSi5 for centre duty and sell that KG2. I used to run mismatched fronts and centre, it was an ok sound but you really do want to match them.

Yup.. if it sounds good...

One thing going for the Klipsch center is it should need no additional power to keep pace with beefing up the amp for the 12's... Means only need a 2 ch amp to solo on the 12's or bi-amp them in parallel with the 3802's front channels.

I bought the Csi5 and the fxi5 for the rears now all i need to do is learn how to bi amp .Find a good 2 channel amp and that'll be it. but man does she sound good,matching up the speakers made a big difference that i didn't think would matter all that much (i was wrong)Now that the pieces are together im glad i went with polk i'm pleased.Im just wondering how much better can they sound with a 2 channel amp,is it worth the money?

Tour2ma

Certainly worth some money... Again, if you are open to used, for $300 or less, you can get all you need (although don't be surprised if you end up wanting more)...

The 3802 is what? maybe 85 wpc for multi-channel and 110 or so for stereo? I'd look for double whatever the 2 ch rating is when culling outboard amp options...

Mike Reeter

Yes,Those 12's need POWER,I'm still in the hunt for a good 2-channel amp myself,let us know what you come up with.
