No, You Cannot Bi-Amp


.
The new Magnepan 20.7 is not bi-ampable. The prior model 20.1 allowed bi-amping.

What sonic benefit if any, would any would a speaker gain by removing the capability to bi-amp?

I understand the big Wilsons are no longer bi-ampable either.

I have always been a huge fan of bi-amping.

I don't see why people object to people who know nothing about bi-amping asking questions about it.
I know nothing about bi-amping.

I think I have a pretty good ear for music and have played instruments for a long time.

I recently replaced (for my Maggie 3.5's) my old Levinson 332 with two Magtech amps and I bi-amped those.
The improvement was spectacular.
I attribute that improvement to the fact that I am bi-amping.
This could wrong.
I was so looking forward to getting the new 20.7's and being able to use that bi-amping ability.

Now I learn that you cannot bi-amp these new speakers.

So why isn't it Ok to ask about bi-amping and what differences it makes and if it is that important maybe I should look for a good used pair of the 20.1's instead?
Hi macro -

yes - that's exactly what i did.
I'm not using an external crossover (although many tell me it's the way to go).
It sounds so good with the bi-amping and the crossover that came stock.
