Biamping -- any good?


Recently, I read a speaker review in which the reviewer indicated that biamplification (versus use of the conventional single-amp configuration) had noticeably improved the sound quality of his speakers. I find this to be very interesting; however, having no experience in this area, I was wondering if anyone would care to share their good/bad experiences? The info you provide will assist me in determining whether I should pursue this aspect of audio or not.

I have a pair of Magnepan MGIIIA's that I want to bi-amp using the Magnepan supplied passive crossover. The configuration is as follows: preamp out to passive crossover, midrange/tweeter out to mid/tweet amp directly to mid/tweet connection on speaker. Bass out to bass amp to crossover(standard outboard Magnepan crossover) to bass input on speaker. This is the recommended Magnepan setup, also providing correct resistance in first passive crossover for mid/tweet and disconnecting mid/tweet capacitors in second crossover where bass amp is coming in. Anyone have any experience/knowledge of results? I am using two Krell KSA-50s to run. Thanks
