Old thread, but I'm a new AudiogoN member.
My primary speakers are Snell Type D's. I own two Nikko Alpha 220 amps, which are 120wpc, similar wattage to Blueskiespbd's NAD 2700's. I have biamped the D's with one amp powering the bass and one the highs. I did not experience any loudness variation between the bass and highs, as compared to just one amp. The sound was quite similar to using just one of the amps, but the bass was somewhat tighter and the overall sound was indeed slightly better.
Bottom line, biamping should work.
I must say that the Snells perform so well with one amp, that I'm not sure the second is worth the effort and right now I'm only using one.
Either way, even with the Snell D's, the soundstage, vocals and bass are incredible. Every time I sit back and do some serious listening my eyes are deceived because the singer is not in the room.
