I incline to view Avanti1960’s favorably, as it matches my own experience. This is what we are calling ‘passive biwiring’. Panzerwagen states unequivocally that “the unused half of he signal is just turned into heat”. But is that really all that’s happening? If so, why have Avanti and I heard benefits from using this technique with separable passive crossovers in our speakers? Maybe the passive HPF presents the amp an easier load with less back EMF, allowing it to more optimally drive the MR and tweeter….
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
As a long time audiophile I'm finally able to bi-amp my setup. I'm using two identical amps in a vertical bi-amp configuration.
Now me not fully understanding all of the ins/outs of internal speaker crossovers and what not. I've read quite a few people tell me that bi-amping like I'm doing whether it's vertical or horizontal bi-amping is a waste since there's really not a improvement because of how speaker manufacturers design the internal crossovers.
Can anyone explain to a third grader how it's beneficial or if the naysayers are correct in the statement?
