Has anyone tried 2 amps in stereo mode?

I currently have a rotel 200W amp bi-wired to my speakers.
I'm wondering if I would get any sonic improvements by
hooking up a second(200W Rotel) amp? I would have one amp per speaker using them in stereo mode (not bridged),one channel will power the lower driver and the other the tweeter.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks.

I agree with everything that has been said up to this point and would add one thing. My bi-amp rig really did not come to life until I got serious about the power side of my system. I have tried several configurations with the best results using Richard Gray units and Audio Magic high-end cables.

Yes I'm in need of some power cord upgrades. I'm still using the factory cords, and a cheezy power strip.

I would not plug the amp into a power strip...plug it into the wall outlet. Cheap power strip will limit current when your amp needs it most.

The amp is currently in the wall socket directly. The pre-amp and cd player are on the power strip.
