A friend wants a recommendation from me for receiver and speakers. However, he does not want rear or surround speakers, so he is purely looking for a 3.1 or maybe just a L/C/R setup.
He will use it 50% for TV/Blu-ray and 50% for music FWIW.
I was wondering if any of the available 7.1 receivers from Arcam (or other brands) allow you to use the 4 unused channels to bi-amp the L/C/R.
I am currently using the AVR600 in my 5.1 setup and have bi-amped the L/R using the 2 remaining channels, but the Center is not bi-amped. Having said that, I think the AVR600 is overkill for my friend's purposes.
Still, if any of you know of a receiver that will allow bi-amping the L/C/R using the extra channels please let me know.
Thanks!
