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

If you go to Audiogon's home page, there is a picture posted in "Show Coverage" "View Pics from HE 2004" ten pictures down, of a pair ov Vandy's driven by (2) two Rogue Zues'. Since the Vandy's have their own bass amp, and I presume only one set of binding posts for the mids and hi's, and since the Zues is a stereo amp, can somebody explain how two of these amp are hooked up to drive the speakers? I don't think the Zues' are bridgable? So how are they using two of them?

Zippyy- I used a pair of McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev A+ (soft recovery diode). I only used them vertically bi-amped, since the designer strongly recommended it. IMO, the primary benefit for vertical bi-amping is increased channel separation, imaging, soundstaging. BTW, I also had a pair of 2WQ subs, so the bass was rolled off below 80 hz, therefore not putting too much of load on the amp in that regard.

Zippyy--

I can't remember his exact words, and don't have the time to drag up the interview again. I've also heard it from other sources.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I appreciate it. Swampwalker, I've heard great things of those amps. Maybe in another system, some day!
Themadmilkman, I apologize in advance if I offend you, but you had time to respond. If you should come across the article in the future, perhaps you could be so kind as to post it, maybe here.
Good luck wilth all your music listening!

Zippyy-- no offense taken, it would just take me a LONG time to find the article again. I'm sure I'll come across it again, but right now, between finding work, preparing to take the LSAT, preparing for my brother's wedding this weekend, and getting ready for the first kid, my spare time comes in small spurts.

I do enjoy it when it comes, though. Music certainly relaxes the soul.
