CAN Bi-Amping been done Correctly?

Hello everyone,

I have heard both GOOD and BAD reports when it comes to BI-AMPING. I would like to utilize my current TUBE amps for the electrostatic panel of my Martin Logans and then utilize some SS drive on the low-end, Good or Bad idea?. I would like to ask what may, or may not be, a simple question. CAN BI-AMPING BE DONE CORRECTLY? Are there more bad than good related benefits to doing so or visa-versa? What is it exactly I need to pay strict attention to regarding the cabling, speakers and amps? I know this may be a lengthy answer but I would greatly appreciate your experience and advice.

My best,

Mark

Bi-amping is great for sound. The problem is that it is more expensive. Don't confuse it with bi-wiring which is mostly not worth the effort. It is far to complicated to deal with well in this forum. One of the best discussions on bi-amping that I know of on the web is Rod Elliot's website, www.sound.au.com. The article is caled "Bi-amplification-Not Quite Magic, But Close." The article is located exactly at www.sound.au.com/index.html. If you browse around the website you will find it. The entire site is fairly good and there are some other good articles on amplification too. He is mostly solid state. Give me an e-mail if you have any questions after reading the article. Biamplification is great and it is easy to do. Easier (and better) than passive crossovers if you are into that.
Good Luck,
