Akurate 4200 bi-amping Akudoriks

[Billz]

For a good while now I have been running my Akudoriks passively from my 4200 only using 2 channels. I am going to go back to bi-amping and wonder if there are any thoughts as to which channel of the amp should go to which drive units on the Akudoriks? My initial thought is the 2 outside channels for the treble (3k array) and the two inside channels for the bass. What confuses me is that the channels are numbered 1 to 4 from one side. So I would be using 1&4 for the treble and 2&3 for the bass. Does this sound right or is there a ‘correct’ way to do it?

I also have a sub and take the RCA phono plug output to the sub from the pre-amp in my ADSM/3. I haven’t noticed any delay issues, but wonder if I should be using the pre-outs from the 4200 instead of the ADSM?

Thanks  in advance, Bill.

I seem to remember checking this, when I installed my active cards. I have the treble on channels 1 and 3. If these pics help you, have fun

I use 2&3 for treble and 1&4 for bass.

I would use 1 and 3 for treble and 2 and 4 for bass like Tendaberry did. That was my configuration with Ninkas and Katans.

Reason I use the left side for a treble and a bass is so that the daisy chain interconnect does not have to go across the power cable. Just to explain my reasoning for using 2&3 for treble. Source sends signal first to the treble and then daisy chained to bass.

If you look at the board, the power cables from the Dynamik come to the channels 1 and 3 first, that was my reasoning. Anyway, you could try both and report any difference.

That’s a good enough reason to follow this route

Why do you need to daisy chain the input? Mine has this done internally so I only have one pair of interconnect leads which I would assume is a better option sonically and neater on the outside.

Thanks for the advice guys. I have went for 1&3 for treble and 2&4 for bass. So far sounding good. Next thing is to replace the metal linking plate on the speaker inputs on the Akudoriks to proper cable links.
