I want to thank you guys for this indepth education (especially you Sean). I've read over all your post several times, and I think I get it. However I have some clarifications and a final question.
Given that I have these two identical amps, and lets say I have speakers that are bi-ampable.
(A) I can vertical bi-amp without any modifications, and do not have to use any active x-overs?
(B) I can configure both amps mono without any modifications, however, I should have speakers rated at 8 ohms (which are really 4 ohms when using amps mono blocked?
(C) If I wanted to horizontal bi-amp, I could use these two identical amps or one smaller amp for the mid/high frequencies.
My question regarding horizontal bi-amping is; My duplicate amps have gain controls, is it necessary to use active x-overs? Can the gain control on the mid/high frequency amp be adjusted to achieve a match between the the low frequency amp?
PS - Remember, I did say I think i get it!!
