BIAMPING

Its me again - SFrounds, Need help on biamping questions.

Stupid question#1
Why is it that an amp rated at 125 wpc can deliver 400 watts mono, why wouldn't it be 250?

Now for the rest of these questions, lets say I have two of these identical amps, and a pair of speakers that can be biwired.

Hopefully - not as stupid question#2
What is the best way to wire these amps?

(A)Have one amp wired to supply the low frequencies on each of the right and left channel speakers, and one amp wired to supply the high frequencies on each of the left and right channel speakers.(at 125 wpc each)

(B)Have the amps wired mono at 400 wpc with one amp biwired to the right channel speaker and the other amp biwired to the left channel speaker.

(C) none of the above or other recommended option.

Thanks again, (Don't worry I can Take abuse very well)

This is an excellent question that I have often pondered.

I will soon have B&W Nautilus 802's with 2 Bryston 4BST's.

Anyone out there familiar with which setup would work best?
-vertical bi-amp
-horizontal bi-amp
-bridged mono to each

I realize there are differences as Sean and others have stated. My question is with this setup, which might be the best solution?

Thanks.
