Budget dinner party fi
Discussion
Well sort of... I've got a budget system in the dining room, comprising of NAD 3120 amp, NAD C 5211 CD player, iPhone / iPod dock to play my iTunes collection and to stream Internet Radio, Tannoy 631 speakers on stands. I've just bought a cheap Eltax Atomic A-10.2 subwoofer and wired it up this afternoon, using the high-level in and then taking the high-level out to the speakers.
To be honest, it doesn't sound half bad for what it is. Having the sub handle the lower frequencies has certainly taken some of the confusion out of the sound that the Tannoys are putting out. They also have terminals for bi-wiring which I've not done. I'm wondering if there's much to be gained by bi-wiring them to the high-level output on the subwoofer. I appreciate this is a pretty obscure question but does anyone have any well considered and helpful thoughts...?
TIA

Forget hifi in the dining room.
No-one comes to dinner wanting to discourse the merits of your system.
Leave it as it is - it is meant as background music - at low volume.
If you are listening to the music - instead of conversing with your guests - something is wrong.
