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.

When you are ready to go next level, try an electronic crossover. No rush though since you are happy with the sound as is now. You will thank me later 😀. Your wires are fine. Morrow is a good and proud establishment. Enjoy. You have respectable gears.

My experience has been similar to yours. Are you using an active x-over?

It seems that the crowd is pushing you towards active electronic crossover 😀. They are right. Look into it, and when ready, give it a try. It’s worth the trouble. It will be an eye opener.

I got you. Take your time. Read up about it. It is actually simpler than it sounds. In your case, you can get good results using a two-way xover and leave the mid and high frequency drivers connected to the passive crossover. Look into Marchant crossover. I have had excellent results with them in the past. Sorry I opened this can of worms 😀.
