Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show

Actually, all Vandys that I am aware of, are all capable and recommended for bi-wiring/bi-amping. The subs are a separate time, and the "bass" amp in the 5As drives the subs only, not the woofers. Based on RVs typical recommendations, I imagine the Zeus' were being used in vertical bi-amp mode, with each amp taking one channel, and each side of each amp driving either the woofers or the mid/tweeters. 'Course, I wasn't there, but I would be willing to put money on that, if RV were involved in the setup.

The Vandersteen 5a's are among my favorite speakers. Unfortunately, the setup at HE 2004 did not do them justice...even though they were using great sources and excellent amps. What was the problem?? I think it was the room and not enough attention to setup details. Luckily, I already know how great the 5a's sound.

When you run an amplifier like that, (vertical) is there any harm being done to the amp as both channels are being driven differently. Obviously, if one channel is driving the woofer and the other channel is driving the mid's and hi's, the loads on the amp are not balanced. I realize it would involve more cabling, but would it not be better to use one amp to drive the woofers of both speakers and the other amp to drive the mid's and hi's. And with regards to the connections on the Vandy's, your saying there are two sets of terminals, one for the woofer and one for the mid's and hi's?
Thanks for your input.
