TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE
i was under the impression that biwiring, in some cases, can be effective because the back-voltage going thru the wiring of the woofer is now separated from the wiring to the the tweeter, even tho it eventually meets up back at the amplifier. i be... 
BIAMPING
sfrounds, if yer speaks are truly bi-ampable, and ya *do* have two identical amps, the best ting to do is yust try the 3 different methods - bridged, wertical, or horizontal bi-amping. it's easy to tell if yer speeks w/two sets of binding-posts ar... 
How much does your system retail for?
not including cabling or stands, i'm at 35k for my main system. but, as out-of-pocket costs are *only* 13k, i don't really feel so bad. and, of course, this has been a gradual ting - one of my current subwoofer amps was my main amp back in '85... ...

i presently use 4 power-amps - 2 bridged adcom gfa555's driving my 4-ohm subs, & 2 electrocompaniet amps, biwiring the monitors. i was using a tripplite conditioner which keeps the woltage at exactly 115v regardless of what's happening in the ... 
electrocompaniet aw 100 sound quality?
