Hello guys. I've been wondering if my receiver is capable of bi-amping since i got a pair of Polkaudio RTi6 (8 Ohms 20-125W) recently.
Receiver is the Yamaha RV990, which has 2 sets of front ouputs A and B. Minimum RMS Output Power per Channel - FRONT, 20Hz, 0.015% THD, 8 ohms = 100W according to the specification.
Please help me clearing this.

A+B outputs are not "bi-amp" but can facilitate "bi-wire" - bi-amp requires two (or more) separate power amplifier channels per speaker; what your receiver is offering is the ability to run two sets of speakers in parallel on one set of amplifier channels. Whether or not bi-wiring is something you want to entertain is up to you - refer to the owner's manual for the speakers for information on how to properly deploy that (it is relatively straight-forward and simple), but very roughly you'd be removing the jumper bars and running A and B to the terminals on the speakers - make sure you aren't shorting the amplifier back into itself.
