The author in the Cary link is referring to the "parallel-amping" I was referring to in my above post, not true bi-amping.

I think he is _really_ off the mark comparing the concept of bi-amping to what a PA system _sounds like_. Bi-amping is no more likely to make your home theater sound like a PA system than using race gas in your car is likely to make it capable of going 200 miles per hour. He obviously heard a bad example of bi-amping, that make his "ears ring". I'm sorry, but to put it mildly, he is "uninformed".

I was not saying that everybody needs to drop everything and go to bi-amping. It is for those who like to tinker that things like bi-amping is useful. It was food for thought.

I agree with soundhound,I am Bi-amping my front main speakers using an electronic cross over,to my ears it sounds more dynamic,less conpression,and I will not burn my tweeters(compression drivers) if my low -end(bass) amp clipps.If you are going to go the Bi-Amping route,do it with an outboard electronic cross-over;you will hear the DIFFERENCE........
