I think biamping means 1. using your amp twice a year or 2. not caring much about specific male/female connections.
It does seem like a lot of trouble for home stereo (if you have a 6,000 square foot listening room with gigantic speakers, certainly biamp), and insults all those fine engineers who designed your crossover filtering, although it rewards the sales people by using twice as many amps. I was told by the dude (Alan Yun?) who designed my Silverline Preludes to not even "bi wire" 'em...less coherent he said. I ignored his advice and after spending time in my wire museum with my heat gun and solder I discovered...well hey now...he was 100% correct (he was talking about the Preludes specifically, and I have a friend who uses these biwired and loves it...so who knows?). But I do now have an extra set of perfect wires. Biamping is great for efficient (read LOUD) pro PA stuff because you get more bang for the buck for large venue purposes...otherwise...meh...although it might double your hobby time fun!
