@kellymack,

Should I bi-amp or bridge my amps to feed my speakers

I would bi-amp. That said it should not be undertaken without first asking the manufacturer’s advice.

When I horizontally bi-amped my speakers with an analog active crossover design by the same manufacturer (of the speakers) it brought my speakers three notches above the passive crossover in sound quality. 😎

i have considered a small sub woofer, but haven’t made a move on it. 

@kellymack ^That^ often gives the most boost.

And if done right it is more like bi-amping… Basically the sub notes get largely  striped off, from the main speakers.

if you already had two stereo amps, then just try it, but $ for $ a sub is usually the most effective.

@kellymack 

You are on the right track getting a sub. 35 watts is probably not enough to take care of the entire bottom end, but if you roll them off at say 80hz to a subwoofer or two will amaze you!  If you go with REL or similar, that use your amps speaker feed, you shouldn’t need anything else. They can control where the speakers roll off and the subs roll in.

Let us know what you decide to do.

I would not bridge your amps.  It forces two different output transformers to work in series. 

Bi-amp vertically...it should help with separation and soundstage. Add an active subwoofer to handle only the bottom octave. Set the low pass crossover on the sub at it’s lowest frequency, and set the gain so that you can barely even notice the sub.
