Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?

Blindjim: Signal strength / drive levels and SPL's are directly correlated in an audio system, albeit at a non-linear rate. This has to do with losses through-out the chain, mostly within the speakers. Most all of these losses are easily measured ( or at least approximated ) if one has the know-how and proper test equipment.

Having said that, the figures that i quoted were pertaining to actual line level measurements, not spl measurements. Since your reply was of a generic nature, i'm not certain if you were responding to Gregm as an individual, myself as an individual or both of us simultaneously. Obviously, we can't discuss the same subject if the subject being discussed and responded to is not clear. There is no body language to be interpreted over the net and we can't read your mind as to who you are talking to or where a specific comment was aimed at. As such, it helps to segment or identify who / what a specific reply is aimed at.

I don't think that anyone responding to your last few comments was being pedantic, so much as trying to figure out how and where you arrived at the figures that you proclaimed to be accurate. I'll have to assume that you avoided clarifying the issue for specific reasons and let it go.

Other than that, i hope that this thread has given you some insight as to the many variables involved. Given your last response, it would appear that you're now answering your own questions, so i guess we're done here. Toodles.... Sean

Why don't you just bi-wire?? It's easier and well worth the effort. Use Anati-Cables - very cheap and excellent.

"We are done here" ??

I was done some time ago. In fact, I believe anything of note was entered way back and certainly before your posts to the thread. I am relieved however, that you have taken it upon yourself to culminate things so cavileir like, though...

it's a sure bet you can not read minds. had you been able to you would have realized my choice of words was not pointed at yourself. Merely a generic and I thought, somewhat humorous ment regarding the more nit pickyish of us. If you feel it pertains to yourself, then, perhaps it does... though it was unintentionally and ambiguously aimed, and truth be told, of all the Audio nuts out there, (myself included), it is apt in any case.

You take things to much to heart Sean... get some thicker skin, friend. I bear you no ill will. Reading my follow up I thought would have been explanation enough... Whomever it was that asked about the SPL meter I used... THAT was to whom I was relating. I saw no need to clarify further, I should have. My PC wasn’t reading the page properly. I’ll be more careful next time. It’s not my desire to be consciously injurious.
