I have an Onkyo 605 and a Adcom gfa 555. The Adcom is a stero amp w/ 200 watts per channel. I want to bi amp some RTi 12's I will use as fronts on a HT setup. How exactly do I do this ?
RTi 12's main

Monitor 70's Surrounds
PSW125 Sub
Onkyo 805
Fronts Adcom GFA 555 powered
I/C's from the wall of Circuit City
Wire by BlueJeans at $.65 per foot

    remove the jumper on the binding posts of the speakers and run 2 sets of wires from the amp to the speakers

    Hello C4,
    Were you wanting to use both the receiver and the power amplifier to bi-amp? In general terms, this isn't how bi-amping works. You need a second power amplifier, such as the Adcom classic GFA535 power amp. The GFA555 would be fine for the mid/range bass section and the GFA535 would be very fine for the treble functions.
    But until you get to that point use the GFA555 full range with the speakers. In my opinion.
