Benefits of Bi-Amping high-powered amps?


I have a class D Spectron Musician amp that is rated at 500w into 8 ohms. My speakers, Von Schweikert 4.5 III's, are rated at 89db and 6 ohm at which the Musician outputs 600w. Would there be any reason to vertically bi-amp these amps? They seems to have alot of headroom as it is. Does it make sense to bi-amp high output amps?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Yes, there is an advantage in bi-amping either vertically or horizontally, but the big advantage would be with actively biamping your speakers, if done right.

I was lucky in that Dan D'Agostino of Krell designed the modifications to my B&W800's as well as the crossover board for his KBX electronic x-over. Altough my speakers have a sensativity rating of 93 dB/watt, the difference was staggering....the biggest improvement that I ever made to my system, bar none.

I would contact Krell and see if they will do the same for your speakers. If they will, save your pennies and buy a KBX, and do the change.
