Okay. So I have a question. I hooked up the third PL700B today and it does indeed work. Now the question is...........can I use it in conjunction with another receiver/amp?
What I want to do is this: I want to use the multi-channel amp for my movies, and the PL for strictly 2-channel hi-fi. How my set up is, is that I have the OPPO BDP-105, hooked up both analog to the PL, and HDMI to the surround receiver. I can use the volume up/down on the oppo as a pre. So its easy enough. The iffiy-ness I have, is there are two sets of binding posts on the speakers. And those sets have little gold strips that bridge both sets together. Positive to positive and negative to negative, on the outside. I ohmed them out and found when I take OFF the gold terminal strips, there is NO continuity between the two sets of speaker binding posts. Fair enough. I figured "PL in one set, surround in the other." However, I found without the bridges in place, the speakers did not work properly or at all. So I put them back. All was well. BUT, that begs the question; if I hook both amps to the speakers with the bridges there; am I causing a back-feed of amplified line voltage from the PL Amp at the speaker posts, then back into the surround receiver? Seems to me it's like running an amps out, to another amps outs. Both trying to pass amplified signal at the same time, or one pushing it into the other. Is this a cause for concern? Or not at all. OR..............am I ok as long as ONE of the amps is only on at a time? I may have asked this question before, but forgot when...........
Below I just finished quickly assembling the small area upstairs for where the lady will be enjoying her netflix. I still have some wire routing left to do. But notice the PL amp and the surround amp above it. i want these guys to play nice and share the speakers together.
