The question boils down to this: if you had the ability to measure power consumption of white noise (equal amplitude across the audible spectrum, not necessarily 20Hz to 20kHz, if you could do it for 50Hz to 10kHz that would be a sufficient demonstration) by the two halves of a bi-amped speaker, what would you see?
What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping?
Is there a “golden rule” or rule of thumb when selecting amplifier power in a bi-amp setup? It seems to me that the power should be apportioned according to the demands. Since most of the energy consumption in sound reproduction is by lows, it stands to reason I should use a much more powerful amplifier for lows than highs, but what ratio of power? 2:1? 10:1? Is there a wrong answer?
