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.

an interesting thread. as others have posted. Bi-amping has a lot of plus and minus and it all depends on what you are targeting to solve or improve. 

for me, I had the weird idea of biamping the ATC speakers. what I did was to use the X150 to drive the mains and XA25 to drive the tweeters, 

I personally did not find a major improvement, there was some change, I would like to point out a better dynamic, but not enough to justify the extra cost of an amp.

 

YMMV though ..
