I have found a good deal on a Parasound HCA-2003. My current home theatre sytem is run thru my HK 354 AVR receiver. I was planning on running the front RTI A9 and the center a polk CS-20 ( When I get a chance want to upgrade this to a CSI -A6). Question is do I hook the speakers up to both the HK 354 and the parasound 2003? is this what they mean by bi-amping? What is bi-amping? Or do I hook them up ONLY to the parasound 2003? I leave the back surround with the HK354 correct?

Thanks for any help or input on the correct way to install the amp.

Thanks,
Dave

    Hook the speakers up to the amp only. You need RCA cables, one for each channel, from receiver preouts to amp. Enjoy.
