What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping?


Is there a “golden rule” or rule of thumb when selecting amplifier power in a bi-amp setup? It seems to me that the power should be apportioned according to the demands. Since most of the energy consumption  in sound reproduction is by lows, it stands to reason I should use a much more powerful amplifier for lows than highs, but what ratio of power? 2:1? 10:1? Is there a wrong answer?

Hi all, Here's something to think about. If you have two identical amps you will have the option to vertically bi-amp as well as horizontally as you guy's are discussing. I don't know the advantages of each way, maybe ALMARG will chime in.Tish
