Wanted: Arcam Power Amp. P85 or better

I would like to bi amp my setup. Currently I have an A85 in preamp mode and a P85 bi wired to SA1550 speakers. A modest setup by the standards of some on the forum but I enjoy listening to it. I’d like to try out the bi amp option with two full power amps. Anybody got anything to tempt me?

Hi DNT,

Have you ever tried using Y rca cables and connecting the pre out of the integrated with its power section on one end, and the power amp on the other end? I think there is no risk doing that.

Thanks Max. That’s certainly an interesting idea. I never thought of it. Currently I’m trying out a different layout with the A85 as a power amp driving the base, the P85 driving treble and mid, and an AVR100 as a preamp. However my preferred option would be matching P85 power amps if I can get a second one. Thanks for your suggestion.
