Two Amplifiers Connected in Parallel?


Provided my preamp (receiver) can power two identical 2CH amplifiers, what are the advantages (if any) of connecting the two in parallel, one amp driving tweeters, the other driving mid/bass drivers?

Amplifier (Rega Maia) has a L/R link output in addition to L/R input. Preamp (Pioneer Elite VSX-32 receiver) has single L and R outputs. Speakers are Spendor 7/1.

if you search the archives on "biamping" (may want to try various spellings (eg "bi-amping"), you will find a wealth of discussion to answer any questions you have.

I agree with the responses above. I have tried vertical and horizontal biamping with mixed results. Results in my experience are highly dependent on the equipment you're using and the speakers you're driving, and can range from awful to very good.
