However, after now doing so, there are a few who mention the same thing I say, including yourself. I am just of the firm belief that bi-amping with an active crossover between the source and the amp, is indeed bi-amping, and is beneficial. Everything else from bi-wiring, passive bi-amping or anything else you want to call it, where the passive crossover of the speaker is being used, is simply posing, and for all intents and purposes, leaves no audible or measurable improvements. Don't agree with me check this link and quote..... http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messa...79/109419.html


Or maybe this link again.... http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm

and this quote from that site.....

I only disagreed with the highlighted part of your post, not with the effectiness of bi-wiring and bi-amping. Sorry for the confusion.

And as I mentioned, I had not checked all the posts, until you responded.
I find it amusing that on various forums, all too many people find it hard to grasp the benefits of real bi-amping versus pseudo bi-amping.

By the way.....check this out. It's my DIY home made and designed main speaker. You will notice 2 boxes on top of the bass cabinet. The second box is my passive crossover. I use the KISS principle for my speaker wires and run these speakers full range with one cable per speaker. If I wanted to, I could actually disconnect the passive crossovers and tri-amp my main speakers.....check the second picture.



I realize this isn't a DIY thread and don't want to hijack it, so if you'd like to know more about my speakers, just give me a thread link,
and I'll be happy to post more information, like the design and the drivers, and more pictures.

That looks impressive. Let's discuss it in the DIY Subwoofer/Speaker Repairing, Building & Upgrading. It has a sticky in the Subwoofers section.
