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 tried bi-amping briefly, and I can testify that the quality of the amps makes a difference. Amplifiers designed for Public Address (PA) speakers do not work well with the midrange/tweeter half of a B&W 801Matrix. Maybe if I had turned the volume down on the PA amp. Oh well. I do have a 4-way Pioneer crossover for my next attempt. I expect it will be an exciting adventure, as I expect your’s will be as well. I would anticipate a good deal of time may be spent on ‘dialing it in.’ Good luck.
