Horizontal vs Vertical biamping

Hi all. I am looking for some feedback. I am horizontally biamping 2 Rogue ST 100 amps. I am using DS 2 preamp, Aurender N10, Yggy LIM Dac, Legacy Signature SE speakers. It sounds really good. I have tried vertical biamping with this setup thinking it would sound even better. I have read that it would but in reality it does not sound as good. A bit thin and unresolving I would say. Anyone care to weigh in on why this would be? Thanks in advance.

When you are ready to go next level, try an electronic crossover. No rush though since you are happy with the sound as is now. You will thank me later 😀. Your wires are fine. Morrow is a good and proud establishment. Enjoy. You have respectable gears.

Same results here. Vertical = blah, Horizontal = Smile.

Somewhere in the back of my brain, I remember reading that some speakers change the crossover frequencies and slopes when you try to bi-amp using the internal crossovers. I’d suggest getting either an active crossover or a DSP and set things the way you want, not the speaker company.

All the best.
