too bad the dynaudios aren't bi-ampable. you would put the Macs on the bass and the Pass Labs on the mids/highs.

Bi-amping with different amps is not that easy to get it perfectly ballanced. I would not go for that.

Ok Bo, why is that, please.

So, I take it you don't recommend passive bi-amping? How about active bi-amping with an external crossover?

Ok, I got it now, more powerful stereo amp...

That's cool about that power cable. It must be something else!

I agree, it's all about results.
