Hi all,

Thanks for reading my post.

Here is my set up.

Front: Monitor 70
Center: CS2

Sub: CVS PB 10

Receiver: Yamaha 863.

My room is small 15' x 12'

My question is, do i need to bi amp my front speakers? if so, which power amp is the best?

Thanks,

    Your room is small, your amp is pretty powerful, your speakers are pretty efficient. The simple answer is no.

    Do you want higher volume? More clean headroom? Want to spend more money? Want to brag about your setup? Then yes. :D Just don't expect some magical improvement in the sound.

    I would wait and see....you may be very happy with the results. If not, you can always add an amp with your setup.
