Anybody Familiar with this amp? Apparently I can bi-amp my fronts with this receiver and my lsi9's. Any ideas?

    since those speakers are 4ohm, you are probably better off not trying to bi-amp off the Yamaha unless you contact Yamaha and find out if the amp is 4 ohm stable when bi-amping via A/B speakers or mapping the surround back channel to bi-amp the fronts.

    I know the manual for my RX-V2500 talks about bi-amping the fronts by using both the A and B speakers posts. I am not really sure that it doubles the output or if it just splits the same amp to both outs which is not really what you are looking for.

    Gotcha! Do you know if i connect an external amp to the 1800 i bought it used and i don't have the manual. I would like to connect my lsi9's to a seperate amp.

    Without looking, I would have to say yes. I can't imagine the 1800 not having outputs for an external amp. I think you can get the 1800's manual from the yamaha website.

    If you look on the back, you should see 5 or 7 RCA outs (analog outs) plus the subwoofer out.
