almarg's first comment touched on a XLR/RCA connection situation that I recently encountered. Following Parasound's method for bi-amping (also Audio Adviser support), I used XLR cables to the first A23 for the mids and tweeters. Then I used the "loop out" RCA connections for the second A23 amp to push the bass. It sounded terrible.
I contacted an engineer at Maple Shade Audio and he explained what was going on with my system. It was completely out of phase. XLR connections are faster and say 6db's louder than RCA's. Yes, the bass was weak and very muddy. I had a pair of XLR "Y" cables made and the old JBL's never sounded so good
