Biamp/triamp Emotiva DMC-1

I am trying to test out my LSi25 speakers to see if they are not getting enough power. I have a B&K 7270 with 200 wpc (8ohms) 375 wpc (4ohms) with 7 channels to work with. I want to have my subs on my LSI's plugged into the wall and then I want to use 1 channel on my b&k for each speakers tweeter, and one channel for each mid. So I would be using 4 channels on these two speakers.

When I set this all up, I end up with nowhere to plug my IC from my amp. I have only one preout for left channel and one for right on my preamp..... there simply has to be a way to biamp this...

any ideas?

If I understand this correctly- you would just split the IC from the AVR/PRE with an RCA y-splitter-then run to each amp channel. So if you split the Right channel pre-out, to lets say channels 1 & 2 on the amp, then run the channel 1 & 2 speaker outs from the amp to the right speakers high and low binding posts (don't forget to remove the jumper between the posts!).
Although I've heard its not tru bi-amping when using one amp to accomplish the goal, but should work.

I may be wrong but I don't think bi-amping is going to solve your issue. When you say your plugging the bottom into the wall, your powering the internal amp. That amp is going to take the signal coming from your amp and do what it wants with it. Your B&K is not going to have direct control of the woofer like the 15 would allow. My bet is the the crossover has the top posts going to highs and mids and bottom to woofer. But it still will go through the internal amp.

Give it a try. You have nothing to loose.
