I know this a rookie question, but I have a h/k 335 I can buy a display one at fry's for 350, is it possible to bi-amp lsi's with 2 h/k receievers if so, will it be enough to power them or would it not make a difference?
Setup:

2 Channel: Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand, T+A P 1230R, Primare SPA21, Oppo BDP-105
PC: Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand, Cambridge Azure 650A v2 , Peachtree iDAC, Denon DVD-3800BDCI

    My own opinion, save your money to put towards a power amp.

    Nevermind I know its not possible...can you guys give me any recommendations for amps that outpost.com/Fry's carry? I know their not high-end but anything thats good enough to power lsi's with the 335. Any help I'd really appreciate it.

    I wouldn't buy from Fry's. What Lsi's do you have?

    from Outpost.com as you requested. Good luck!
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    I'm assuming anything under $1,000 would do the trick?

    If you are looking for LSi's at all 5/7 channels, I'd get a multi-channel amp. If you are looking to power A pair of LSi9's and a LSiC with 8Ohm rears, you can use a Harmon Kardon 630 or above. I hate to keep hawking my own gear, but I know it works, and quite well I might add.
    You might want to get an amp(s) later. I know I will be looking for something 2 Ohm stable in next year to power the 9's and the C. I don't have the LSiFX's yet, so I can't comment on what the receiver would do -melt and bubble probably.
    The LSi7's are like 'butta' in the vocal section and they are more like a 6 Ohm load than a 4 Ohm.

    What about this amp? http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4310205?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

    What is the main difference between the 335 and the 635? Also is there anything tweaks I can do with the 335 to make it sound better?

    You can change out: Power supply, Capacitors, and output devices (transistors), but that is essentially the same as building a new amp. So-
    Get the bigger receiver, and that is only if you are not planning on the 15's, as they are much greedier than the 9's. You won't be able to drive them with any receiver that I know of. . .

    I think you are wasting your time with the 2 receivers. You will never get them to sound right and the gains will drive you nuts. Just get a good outboard amp. Check out the Behringer a500 at partsexpress.com. For $180, 160w at 8 ohm, can bridge to 500w mono. I have heard these are musical amps and sound great.
