Horizontal vs Vertical biamping


Hi all. I am looking for some feedback. I am horizontally biamping 2 Rogue ST 100 amps. I am using DS 2 preamp, Aurender N10, Yggy LIM Dac, Legacy Signature SE speakers. It sounds really good. I have tried vertical biamping with this setup thinking it would sound even better. I have read that it would but in reality it does not sound as good. A bit thin and unresolving I would say. Anyone care to weigh in on why this would be? Thanks in advance.

For me horizontal is the best but in order to realize the full benefits, an active crossover should be use. Vertical was only slightly better than using a single amplifier. Horizontal is a big improvement and you can use a much more powerful amplifier for the bass region. I’ve been multi-amping for over 40 years and would not do it any other way.

If you don’t want the best like First Watt or Bryson, Ashley, TDM and DBX make some excellent crossovers for less money. You can always upgrade to First Watt or Bryson after you get your feet wet in bi-amping. Maybe even tri or quadamping like I am.😁
