Horizontal vs Vertical biamping
I had an actively  bi amped  setup. It was really quite scary how large the sound stage was etc. The amp.on the bottom can be much bigger than the one running  the mids and tweets

A preamplifier  is basically  the system.  It has to let what the source  sends it through and not change it. A poor preamplifier  can never have a system  sound right. Shop lots listen  to as many as you can before you  buy
