Could I put two sets on nSATS on the surround output of the nVi?

Posted by: Consciousmess on 21 January 2010

Hi all,

I'm currently enjoying the new experiences of the nVi and it has totally transformed my watching of movies and Sky. Having said this, I am keen to change the front nSATs for floorstanders and have spare outputs on my rear cables (they were previously used to go from the single out on the Naim to a bi-wire input on some B&Ws). The cables are great, but I therefore have spare speaker outputs from both cables.

The intention is to put both my pairs of nSATS to this connection (i.e. what would have been speaker cables going to bi-wirable sockets instead will go to two sets of nSATs). This would make the surround speakers bigger in their presence.

Could this be done and is it advisable? I noticed that a separate power amp (e.g. the 200 or the 250.2) can be bridged with the nVi and that could power moderate floorstanders.

This wouldn't be too expensive and I can imagine would improve the front end alongside the surrounds.

Thanks for your advice.

Jon

Just my pennyworth again - switched the Sats to large this morning and a definite immediate improvement. V useful tip. Thanks.

You'll have to forgive Munch C P. I think of him as Naim's own little mascot dog who enjoys running around the place, barking at anyone and everyone but is harmless really. He soon quietens down when he gets to know you.

Woof.
