Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?

I knew 2-3 people would show up here to drop their snark-bombs on the topic of biamping, and I wasn’t disappointed.

It has been many years since I biamped, but when I did, it was a noteworthy success. It probably would have sounded even better if I’d had access to one of the excellent, transparent external crossovers that are currently available, but were not back then.

Obviously biamping isn’t possible or recommended for certain setups; but in the right setup, and with the right amps, it can take the sound way higher...

Through my modified Signet floor standers, it is easily heard, the advantages of bi wiring and, passive bi amping. What a different set of characteristics, between running the system, horizontal vs. vertical. Using many different pairs of the same exact model amplifiers, I came down to really appreciating vertical. When going back to a single amp, things started to shrink, and collapse ( through the speakers, lol ). Over the many years of owning these, these Signets have bettered, ime, so many others. At this time, they are not in use...but they are one of my few audio products, I could never let go of. 🙂☹ My best ! MrD.

• How come they don't design biamping amps that are both tubes for top drivers and solid state for bass drivers?

Maybe I begin to do this and make a lot of money

@emergingsoul I believe McIntosh makes an amplifier like the one you described.
