Probably. The reason I have never done it is because I always buy the very best of something I can possibly afford... like an amp... so I would be buying two amps and investing 1/2. That from a quality of sound would be a huge step down. Hence. I could never do it. Second, I am always concerned with character of sound. So, I would have to use two amps of exactly the same design. Either exactly the same amp or like a Pass X150.8 for the tweeter and a Pass x350.8 for the woofers. None of this kind of stuff made any sense to me without a nearly infinite budget. |
Hello op, like @ghdprentice, I have invested in what I think are the best mono amps. I would rather have my amps than double amps that are not as good. That said, I have been to GTT Audio’s big room with Vivid Muons biamped with Audionet Heisenbergs, and it was stunning. Not louder, but effortless and easy with such depth, breath and life. So yes it is better. One amp for mids and highs, one amp for the woofers. No subwoofer needed. |
Every situation is unique, and there are always a lot of variables. There are also a lot of ways to bi-amp (tri-amp, etc). Which is best is usually subjective, but typically if all else is equal an amp with less responsibility has some advantages over one that’s got a heavier work load. How audible any improvements from a given bi-amp setup is also a variable. My experience has been that some scenarios are just subtle refinement, but some situations can be eye opening. |
