You have to match all the amplifiers gain. if the other amp have higher gain than the other amp you will have balance problem, either you're vertical or horizontal bi-amping.
What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or
OK, I am going to sound naive but I admit I am - simply trying to gain knowledge.
Does bi-amping mean you use one amp for each speaker and if so why? I guess this is what mono-blocks are for and I thought it was a simple case of wiring one amp to one speaker but I read a post on here where a guy was asking if it was possible to bi-amp Magnepan 1-6s and the answers seemed very technical (issues relating to crossovers etc). Anyway, I have a pair of 1.6s and I have use of Parasound JC1s but don't want to damage anything. If I decided to how would I go about this and what have I got to gain. I currently run the 1.6s with a Pass 250.5.
