Hi,

does anyone know of a unit that can run both front and rear speakers together in stereo mode? I don't mean in pro-logic or in an 'effect' mode. It would be good to be able blast a CD out using say 4 amplifier channels and really get the place shaking!

Quite a few AV Amps/Receivers now have 5CH/7CH Stereo Modes. All they do is duplicate the Front Left and Right channels out of the Surround Left and Right and Surround Back Left & Right speakers. The centre channel gets a mono mix of the two.

Any ampwith A+B speakers outputs

but with A+B you are usually sometimes limited by the combined impedance of the speakers. I assume that using 4ohm speakers could result in a 2 ohm load

Also as I do not want to re-plug the speakers, using A+B wouln't I have to wire the speakers to both rear & B output terminals?

Jase,

Thanks - i'll checkout some of the newer AV units

Yamaha does have DSP modes called 'Disco' and 'Party' that come close.
Ok, so it is an effect mode but at least you don't need to re-wire the speakers.

A simple mixer will do it, with one input (L&R) and two outputs, to 2 Amps.
