I also have a 8000s+8000p...
It is possible to configure it to by-pass or not by-pass...
For my configuration I had a active crossover in between S and P, but it works the same way.
There are 2 pre-outs on 8000s, normally you connect it to 8000p.
Now you connect one pair of pre-outs to tape1in. (assume you don't use those )
Connect tape1 out to 8000p.
Connect tape2 out to 8000s's power amp in...
Now when you want to bi-amp but not av-by-passing, select the record mode to tape1.
(assume input is from CD ), input mode to CD. So source will go through pre-out -> tape1 in->tape1 out->8000p. Signal is pre-amplified before going to 8000p.
When you want to bi-amp and av-by-pass, select mode to pre power-av, source should be tape2 in, select record mode to tape2. Now tape2 will go directly to power amp-in and be amplified. tape1 out will go to 8000p by-passed..
Be carefull when you are switching the modes, since some combinations of the modes are connecting your source being directly amplified... |
