Hello guys/gals,
I'm very new to A/V equipment, but have just received a bunch of stuff for Christmas.
I have this receiver: VSX-821-K - NEW 5.1-Channel 3D Ready AV Receiver | Pioneer Electronics USA (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Pioneer+Receivers/VSX-821-K)
I have these speakers: Polk Audio RTi4 (Black oak finish) Bookshelf speakers at Crutchfield.com (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-d368q2vvYCb/p_107RTI4B/Polk-Audio-RTi4-Black-oak-finish.html#details-tab)
I realize the Polks allow for bi-amping. I am just trying to figure out if bi-amping the two Polks is going to work with a 5.1 receiver.
I am just looking to run a 2.1 setup ( two speakers and a sub) for my home gym. Right now, I am only using channel "A"(speakers) and channel "B"(subwoofer).
With this setup, my "surround" is not being used. I figure that could be hooked up to my speakers, doubling the power.
Am I correct? Will this be too much power going to the speakers?
Anything else I should know?
Thank you very much in advance,
Connor
