O.K. so I recently purchased some speakers and the towers in the front have the option to bi-wire. My HK AVR-7000 starts choking with these 4ohm towers while in a single wire configuration. What I want to know is if I bi-wire them, will that lighten the load at all? I wouldn't think it would make a difference but I'm not sure what effect the bi-wire setup has on my receiver. Would I connect 2 sets of wires to one set of terminals on the receiver?
I have an HK PA-5800 that is 4 ohm stable but the receiver amp is reciculously louder and I think the 5800 may be starving these hungry speakers so if there's a way to use the AVR-7000 then that's the route I'd like to take.
I have 4 Axiom QS8 V2 speakers, 1 Axiom VP150 V2, 2 M80 V2's and a Dayton Titanic 15" sub. So I have the capability for a 7.1 system but my receiver is only 5.1. I would like to put an end to my frivolous spending habbits but my hunger may not be cured until I have the 7.1 setup. Any ideas that may suggest a limited budget yet result in 7.1 (this won't happen in the next 2 or 3 months but I'd like to get my wheels spinning)?
