Hi all
I am new to the mystical art of Bi-Wiring, Bi-Amping, Mono Blocs and all the other terms which I do not completely understand.
I have watched and read countless posts/YouTube Videos on the subject, but I still don't get it, hence the post, so apologies if this has been asked before.
My current system is all Cambridge Audio.
2 x Azur 851W Amplifiers (1 x 851W not currently setup)
(Power output – stereo/mono
200W per channel into 8 Ohms 350W per channel into 4 Ohms
Power output – bridged mono
500W 8 Ohms 800W 4 Ohms)
1 x 851N Network streamer and DAC (I have this set as a digital pre-amp)
1 x 851C CD Player & DAC
In an ideal world I would also have the 851E (Pre-Amplifier) but I cannot find one
Speakers are Mission Floor standing 782SE's
Closure Type – 3-way reflex loaded
Frequency Response +-3dB 48Hz to 20Hz
Cross over Frequency 195Hz & 2.5Hz
Impedance 8 Ohms
Recommended Amplifier 5-200—W/Ch
Speaker cables are Van Damme with banana connectors of which I have 4 pairs
I am interested in the dark art of Bi-amping and based on what equipment I have, would like to know which is the preferred method.
Cambridge Audio tell me I can configure the 851W's in either Bi-amped dual mono or Bridged dual mono setup which I am assuming is.
Vertical bi-amping = One stereo amp per side. One channel for high frequencies and one for low or Horizontal bi-amping = One amp for low frequencies. One channel for left one channel for right. One amp for high frequencies etc:
Room Size is 8m x 5m
Any suggestions on which option or any other scenarios would be the best setup appreciated
Thanks
