I have a pair of LSi9s matched with a Parasound HCA-1000A... I can get another HCA-1000A from a friend for a decent price. How much of an improvement would that make Bi-Amping the LSi9s? A big improvement or not?

The amp is 2 x 200watts @ 4ohms.

Thanks!

    Can you borrow the amp?

    That would be the best way. Then you could see if the purchase would be justifiable.

    I doubt I would be able to. But I could always sell it on here if it doesn't make a huge difference.

    I have a sub covering the low-end and my speakers set to small. I don't know what kind of impact the 2nd HCA-1000A would do to the speakers. Please people help me out here!!
