Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers

Thanks for your feedback. Agreed panels can go as low as 1.5 Ohms

. I was hopping with that big toroidal transformers rotel can handle it but maybe not. Interestingly enough when I crank it its not the panel that is having an issue it's the subs, they bottom out....to answer your question.

They sounded like when you provided to much power to a subwoofer

Bi-wiring or using another amp will not solve that issue. The SL3 are old. Even new they never felt comfortable playing at concert levels. It’s possible something is wrong with woofers so you can look into it. Give ML customer service a call. 

What I’m suggesting though as a better path forward instead of spending on speaker cables and amplifiers, upgrade the speakers. Anything Montis or newer should be a big improvement over the old SL3 if you want to stay with ML. 
 

"I already have a rotel amp that is overpowering the wiofers so I really think I would benefit from bi amping."

The 1st post about overthinking it is what I would agree with.

Your amp isn’t "overpowering the woofers". There isn't anything near 200 watts ever feeding your speaker.

Consider trying a different amp. I use a pair of Theos, and they sound fine through a 70 watt tube amp or a $250 20+ year old SS 80 watt Harman Kardon reciever.

Great this is really going to right way, one person says my amp is no good another says replace your speakers :)

I just really needed some help to understand some concepts which I kind of got so I do thank all of you for chiming in !
