Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?

Biamping is for wimps, real men triamp!

I Triamped my Boston a400 and they sounded like different speakers .

highs  very detailed , more solid bass. I used an active crossover .My energy Veritas 2.8 are passively triamped, the manual even says not use external active crossover because the 2.8’s have a complex impedance smoothing cross over.

With passive triamping, it only delivers more power to the speakers, you don’t get the benefits of an active crossover.

Like I said, some speakers do great with it. I might get some new cards for active xover and triamp my GNP Valkeryies .

I think speakers with simple crossovers have more promise triamped than ones

with complex crossovers.

”Ask yourself why almost nobody, including people who could easily afford it and wouldn't mind the extra hassle, ever bi-amps home audio systems. Almost nobody”

No speakers offer inputs for active biamping because it’s incredibly easy to accidentally hook up the woofer to the tweeter input and destroy a tweeter!

Phase: with ads 1230, only the ads 2000 biamp crossover  will work.

. This is because the internal and ads 2000 crossovers do something to the phase of the woofer . I used an external analog crossover and had some big holes in the freq response as evidenced by using an audessey rc equpped reciever .

I think the culprit was a woofer that was out of phase by 90 degrees.

I thought about triamping my Valkeryie speakers which scream to be triamped but to do it actively would require some serious surgery so I’ll likely “ dumb” Triamp thrm ( passive) and use an old av receiver .
