Question Quad Lites and biamping

I'm buying speakers for my Onkyo 605 but as i'll only be using 5.1 for the next year or so i want to utilise the extra outputs and biamp the front speakers.

I've looked on the web but cannot establish if the Lites can be used this way. Can anyone answer this question?

Thanks.

Re: Quad Lites and biamping

Yes, they can be bi-amped. Remove the metal strip then connect the wires.

The best place to look is the Quad web site:
http://www.quad-hifi.co.uk/downloads...E%20system.pdf
It discusses biwiring in detail - bi-amping is merely a matter of using two amplifier channels.

(I do not know if your Onkyo support bi-amping).

Re: Quad Lites and biamping

Cheers for the link Mark, i've bookmarked it.

The 605 is fine. Well, according to one of the experts on the What HiFi web site.

A bonus as i didn't know this when i bought the amp.
