Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos?


Just got monos a week ago, digging them mightily. I know the answer to my question is 'just try it' which I will someday.

Just curious if others have done this A/B, & their take.

Ok everyone mebbe biamping isn't the correct word, thought it was. 

One amp for low end. One amp for mids etc. 

That's what my title question pertains to. 

Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos?

Yes! I have four true monoblock amps.

With bi-amplification both the Low frequency and high frequency portions of the system now have their respective amplifiers. That gives a reduction of intermodulation distortion. That said, active bi-amping horizontally, as I do, will give additional advantage from the elimination of lossy inductances in the low frequency portion of a conventional passive dividing network, and the result is significantly better amplifier damping factor, as seen by the low frequency driver. Active bi-amping is two notches above my passive crossover. See article below: Hope that helps Mike 😎

I use mono blocks for the high end and a stereo amp for the low end in my basement setup. Sounds great to me.😁
