How do I go about bi-amping Martin Logan Ascents

An Attenuator would match the sensitivity/gain which is one of the main issues of bi-amping with two amps that I mentioned. What about the overlap in frequency that he WILL have without a crossover or filter? Some of the greatest audible gains inherent with bi-amping come from being able to by-pass the passive crossover of the speaker system. Was I wrong in assuming that this is part of your goal Trumpetdoug?

Trumpetdoug- This thread contains discourse that you may find helpful: ( http://www.martinloganowners.com/~tdacquis/forum/archive/index.php?t-460.html ) Especially the last five posts to the thread. If it IS your intention to retain the internal passover: Yes- matching the power outputs of the amps would be your only issue, AND: My bad for making assumptions otherwise.

Rodman,
Thanks so much for the help No bad on your part whatsoever. I will check out the thread you mentioned. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

If I were to bi-amp the M/L's personally: I'd feed the ES panel using it's existing passive network to take advantage of the EQ circuitry, but the amp through a DQ-LP1 to relieve it of the bass freqs. I'd open the bass cabinet and bypass the passive x-over(a simple task), wiring the woofer directly to the terminals with a short, high grade speaker cable(Audioquest Bedrock is cheap now days and excellent for bass in a short run). Easily undone should you not appreciate the results. If you can find a DQ-LP1, and decide not to continue bi-amping: You'll have no trouble regaining the $$ spent, as they are VERY popular.
