    Not recommended to bi-amp with two different sources. Your going to get a unbalanced sound at different levels. Get yourself a good 2 channel amp and be done with it.

    Get a nice beefy 2 channel amp & skip the biamp crap.

    You can get a nice 2 channel amp starting at about $200. Doesn't have to be a expensive process.

    Cheap amp should equal cheap price not cheaply made.

    Adcom makes some great amps at a reasonable prices. There's plenty floating around Craigslist, Ebay, and Audiogon.

    *Adcom 555 about $300 200watts@8 ohms.
    *Adcom 545 about $200 110watts@8 ohms.

    Other good companies

    Rotel
    Parasound
    B&K
    Emotiva
