I took delivery of an Arcam P80 today and have coupled it with my P75+ to bi-amp my Linn Ninka's. I have set everything up correctly I hope but have a few questions you may be able to help me with.
The P80 is rated at 65W and the P75+ at 50W so I have used the P80 to bi-amp the Bass and the P75+ the treble is this correct? I assumed it's better to use the higher rated for the bass but correct me if I'm wrong.
I do not fully understand what the function of the Link is on the back of the P80 should I keep it in situe or remove when Bi-amping?
I have changed the Linn Ninka's crossover cards on the back of each speaker to active bi-amping ones and noticed that you had to reverse the polarity of the treble terminals but I'm unsure as to why. What has changing the cards to bi-amping physically done to the speakers internal workings and will there be a run in time whilst its using the new circuitry? (complete noob to this ).
sorry for these very basic questions but I'm sure someone will be able to enlighten me
