Oh, I forgot. A good many speakers that have bi-amping connections (as opposed to bi-wire connections) have jumpers that are in place for single amping, and removed for bi-amping. When they are removed, the woofer is electrically isolated from the mid/high connections. Hence, the amp connected to the woofer can impart no distortion to the midrange. The inductor and such is still inplace, so the range hitting the speaker is still limited to what it can handle. The same is true of the midhigh, the half of the xover that limits lows from reaching the mids still protects it, but no load whatsoever from the woofer will be seen by the mid amp. Of course, the bass signal hits the front end, but if there is no low freq load, it lightens the work it need to do and limits distortion...
