"Double" bi-amping a good idea?


I am running two Bel Canto 200.2 amps in mono with my Martin Logan Prodigy speakers. Each speaker has one amp, so I guess this is called vertical bi-amping.
The Prodigy are pretty power hungry beasts, so here comes my question, since I have a chance to buy another pair of used Bel Cantos quite cheap: What about two amps per speaker? One amp for the treble and one amp for the bass per speaker. Could I further improve the sound or is this money wasted?

I'm not familiar with Martin Logan crossovers, but you may well need to remove all or certain components of your speakers' internal crossover if you go to "active biamping" with an external crossover. Check with the manufacturer and see what they advise.

Good luck ... I haven't done this myself yet, but if you use a good external crossover "active bi-amping is supposed to be an terrific way to go . BIG gains in clarity and effective power from your existing amps.
