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.

There are definitely some benefits that can be had from bi-amping, but the results depend on a lot variables.  There are  a lot of ways to approach bi-amping, so your approach is best tailored to your system and goals.

Adding an active subwoofer is essentially bi-amping, and is typically one of the easier ways to add bass punch. To get more bass punch through traditional bi-amping would typically mean getting an amp or amps that offer more bass punch than what you’re currently using, or adding a way of boosting just the bass range....which I'd think would be more complicated than adding an active sub.
