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


I have these speakers: Polk Audio RTi4 (Black oak finish) Bookshelf speakers at Crutchfield.com


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
