Just out of curiosity, if i was to wire my surround channels and my front channels to my RTi10's would they have more power? Example, if i hooked my front channel to the lower binding posts and the surround to the top binding posts. The receiver I am using is an HK AVR 347..

    Only if the receiver had a setting to allow such bi-amping, where all front channels were also sent to the surrounds.

    More power? If memory serves, impedance is higher on each half of the RTi10 compared to the impedance when they are jumpered - so you may get less power.

    so basically i would have to remove the jumpers and then connect the binding posts.

    Not sure if the receiver has anything for bi-amping...
