Bi-amp a two-way speaker makes sense?


I am wondering if bi-amp a two-way speaker would make
any difference. I have a five channel Audio refinement 5x125 and a pair of Spendor S8. I am thinking of either buying a more powerful 2-channel amp or using 4 out of 5 channel of the amp for bi-amping which in fact would be equivalent to doubling the power per channel which could give me 250w/channel.

any suggestion would be appreciated.

Audio Refinement makes (or at least made?) a two channel amp @ 125 watts per. What do you use the extra channels for at this time? Do you have HT or multichannel music? If you do..then I would just pick-up the two channel version of your amp and use it's channels in the bi-amp. Of course if your not using the extra channels you have now for anything I can understand were your comming from with wanting to get some use out of them.

I would certainly try the biamping. In addition to probably getting more power, you're reducing feedback from woofer to tweeter and vice-versa.

I am actually using the amp in a HT configuration. But I can always buy a less expense 2-channel amp for the rear if
I decide to bi-amp. Thanks for your feedbacks.
Passive biamping however doesn't always improve overall sound and tonility! many speakers aren't balanced/designed to be bi-amped ulitimately, yeilding an often "tipped up" or "bright" tonal balance with 2 way speakers!
I've bi-amped MANY 2 way speakers in the past. And the results aren't always good. Infact, it's often just what I said...bright. Still, the result is almost always a more dynamic speaker. But the downside outways the plus there for full range playback.
Three way speakers often do well bi-amped....again, depending on what speaker. You'll have to experiment, and then you'll know.
