Good morning....
I've been reading and following any all threads trying to gather as much information as possible in regards to speaker setups using the ARC D250.
Recently came across Brian Beck's post regarding using TWO of these amplifiers in a bi-amp setup. I will also be applying the THUMP delete schematic that was posted here I believe 2 years ago at next tube change.
Question/ dilemma is the speaker output terminals are setup different.
For 8ohm speakers you are required to use the 4ohm terminal for neg.
Current speakers:
1 pair Klipschorns
1 pair Klipsch Belle's
1 non-powered sub
I've been doing the occasional switching of speakers whenever I'm feeling energetic. But now I just want the Khorns for my front stage and the Belle's rear stage and the sub box in it's optimum spot. All the Klipsch's are rated @100w. and at 30w would run you out of the room. So I have plenty power to go around but what device can be put together to run this system? I've attached a picture of rear of the amp inputs & outputs. Unlike a audio/video style amp it doesn't allow independent zone outputs. If say for instance, if right front & right rear speakers was both install into the right 8ohm terminal... that will change impedance load. Also.... regarding the subwoofer, it does not have a designated out on the D250 amp like standard A/V amps to be installed. Without adding any additional devices that may add noise in the audio chain.... any known wiring schematics for this type setup. THANKS.
If these were $200-300 components and speakers I wouldn't be as cautious but one indecent proposal and POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!
