Bi-Amping My Mirage 3si's


I would like to change my set-up from Bi-wire to Bi-amp.Is it as easy as running 2 feeds from amp to each speaker (1 to low &1 to hi)and then running y outs on left & right channels on my casablanca and then down to amp?Some questions i have?
1)Will Bi-amping better my set-up
2)Can anyone recommend cables(balanced interconnects& speaker cables)
3)where would i get y outs-i would need balanced type

Greetings,

Yes, I did similar to what you're proposing, using four channels of amplification on my two main speakers,only I have Magnepan 1.6QR's. I used Audioquest rca y adapters out of the preamp to split signal to the four amps. I don't know if Audioquest makes a balanced "y" connector/cable or not, but they're as good to try as any company. I understand they make more items than shown on website, so you may have to contact them to ask.

I found bi-amping to be a tremendous benefit. The sense of power and authority was well worth it. I'm using twin subs and still found a great benefit to biamping mains. The sound stage seemed "deeper" with it biamped, like the equipment had a better grip on the signal and reproduced it with more clarity/authority.
