Active analog splitter?

Hi guys, I have a processor that has one set of front outs and I want to split them to 2 amp inputs because my speakers can be bi-wired. However, the Y audio adapters don't seem to work because the sound becomes significantly muddy as soon as I connect the Y adapter to 2 different channels on the amp. Why is that? Is there something like an "active splitter" that could remedy this problem?

Thanks!

A cleaner solution would be to use an EQ to recover frequencies due to hearing loss. Another member on AG has some hearing issues and ended up getting a Behringer 24/96 digital EQ, and is very pleased with the results. One of those goes for about $300-$350 new. I have one myself that I use for poor recordings. If you don't need digital, you can get an analog dbx for around $200.

Its just something to consider.

Biwiring has nothing to do with what you are talking about, so I'll assume you meant biamping. Its kind of hard to give an answer without knowing what your system is. Unless you are using 2 identical stereo amps, or an amp that has 4 channels, and have them configured vertically, I wouldn't bother. Its more trouble than its worth.
