Is bi amping worth it ?


New thinking ? 
 

the subwoofer world is quite confusing . so I have  left that decision alone for a bit.  I have recently read where bi amping the khorns could give me the little more bass punch I am looking for. ?    The 601 mono-blocks certainly have enough power but I have a tube pre amp C-2300 that does not separate bass and treble signals so would need to add an external crossover.  
 

anyone have any experience with this ? Is this worth the effort ?  And if so any recommendations on the external crossover ? 
 

thanks again everyone. I greatly appreciate all input from this forum.

I've been multi-amping for 48 years, never going back. Once you have bi or tri-amped, your biggest improvements occur when you limit the frequency bands into each amplifier. And when you get rid of all passive devices between each driver and the amplifier outputs. Try it!

Very good explanation russbutton!  I started my multi-amp journey with a Lafayette integrated amp and a homemade Sanken amp using a couple 30watt hybrids.  As mentioned previously, two key points are the electronic crossover to limit the amplifiers demands and eliminating the passive speaker crossover parts entirely.
