Bi-Amping with one amp?

I understand the concept of bi-wiring. My main system is bi-wired.


I am less clear about bi-amping. It is my understanding that it means one amp drives the bass side of the speakers and one amp drives the mid/tweeter range? Is that even close to right?

Anyway, the reason I'm asking is that I temporarily have a Bryston 5 channel amp and I was wondering if its individual channels could be used to bi-amp a pair of speakers (leaving the middle channel out obviously)?

"Thanks guys. The question was mostly out of curiosity. Not sure if I will actually try this but it is good to know."  

Even though the amp you wanted to bi-amp with is gone, it's still worth pursuing at some point in the future.  There are some very audible improvements to be had.
