Bi amp configuration...a mismatch?

I am just telling what myself and other users have noted.

Almost all people with a set of 2C like the Vandy sub, and it removes a lot of the power requirement from the amp, so it is somewhat similar in concept to bi-amping.
That “takes it to another level.”… and almost guaranteed to be a higher one.

Fewer noted a high appreciation for bi amping and bi wiring.

But maybe someone on the Vandy forum has better input.

It could also take it to another level, but a level that could be a lower level.

Many others “take it another level” with an upgrade to a different Vandy speaker (from 2 to 3, or Treo, Quatro, etc...)

holmz, thanks for your response. I really enjoying the sound of the Vandersteen but thought I would take it to another level if I went to a bi amp configuration.

In my opinion, bi-amping should not be undertaken without first asking the manufacturer’s advice. See article below:

These speakers are prime for bi-amping being 3-way designs.  1 amp for the woofer the other for the mid and tweeter.  

as long as the gain on the amps are the same go for it.

i did this with some PSB tower speakers where the 80 watt 29db gain amp was sounding strained- of the woofers drive the amp to clipping the midrange and treble suffer and sound unrefined.  

i added a 150 WPC 29 db amp to the woofers and the sound was amazingly better- more powerful bass and never any strain or lack of refinement in the midrange or treble
