Bi-Amping, best way??

Cool let us know the difference between the vert and horiz.. Thanks

Ok, i've tried Vertical bi-amping with 1 amp for each speaker, and the sound was much fuller, and the mid-range was a lot stronger, i think my wife described it as been more 'in your face' (she's a violinist), so though i'd swap things around to horizontal bi-amping with one amp for hi's and the other for lo's, and with her fine-tuned ear she was saying that there's less mid-range but you can make out all the instruments and a lot more detail and colour (not coloured, as in valve amp, but sparkle and life), but not as much force.....

so looks like for my setup then Horizontal bi-amping works best.... was it worth the extra bit of cable here and there, and also a 2nd hand identical amp.... Yep!

Has anyone tried bi-amping using different amps ie. one ss amp that has great bass and one ss amp that has great highs and mids? Are there any issues running different amps that have different power output 600 watt amp for the bass and 200 watt amp for the mids/highs

Been listening to my CDs for hours now since I did my experiment of running the tweeter/mid drivers using the Mcintosh 402 and the bass drivers using the Bryston 7B-SSTs on the B&W 802Ds. I have been VERY pleasently surprized and VERY happy with the results. The issue I had after "upgrading" the digital cable from my MVD861 to the MX135 with a GREEN HORNET digital IC (for the purpose of increasing detail), was that the detailed was greatly improved but the music became more bright/harsh. So, I tried bi-amping using the Bryston amps to drive the bass and the mcintosh to drive the high/mids. The music has become (to my ears) more natural. The highs and mids are very detailed but without the brightness and the bass just continued to fantastic!. I'm sure there are folks who will not agree with this set up for one reason or another but as with all things audio, you need to try it to see if you like it regardless of what you believe to be true or correct.

This statement re-enforces the point of that you have better power reserve for the midbass and bass when verticle bi-amping, but the sharing of one power supply in one amp for your Mids and highs in Horizontal config. seems to prove that the more rolled off sound occurs and a little less punch on the bottom.
