Biamping Alon II mk II ?

I recently acquired a pair of Acarian Alon II speakers. The manual makes reference to the possibility of bi-amping instead of bi-wiring but provides no details. This interests me (since I have an unused amp) but I have never done it before.

Connecting the amps to the speakers is no problem. Preamp to amps is trickier; do I need some kind of splitter? Also, my Modulus 3A has two sets of main out jacks, one of which is currently unused. Can I run two interconnects, one to each amp? And what sort of electrical compatibility is necessary for good sound? The amps in question are Transcendent Sound monoblocks (150 wpc, which I would use for bass) and Golden Tube SE-40 (which I would use for mid/high).

Thanks for any help!

good luck!I don't think you'll notice a big difference but I could be wrong,with horizontal set up one amp will work a lot harder than the other and in doing so will be straining more and since I want to make mine last a long time that's my preferred way.let me know your results.
