    How exactly did you wire that? Hopefully, you weren't trying to combine the outputs of more than one amp to a single set of binding posts.

    For future reference, I've never heard of "double bi-amping" or "adding another amp on top of that". ...and I've been playing with this stuff for over 35 years.

    Well there is one way I can think of that roughly fits that description. If you were using a bridgeable stereo amp and bought another and switched each so that they were now running as monoblocks.

    Thanks 'Stat, I needed a good laugh today. Someone needs to start a thread about the DON"TS with audio equipment for the noobies. I just assumed some things were obvious.
    Back in my day, we had nine planets.

    Even if you isted every "don't" in the world, some enterprising guy will discover yet another way to screw the pooch. I just gotta wonder where some of these ideas come from.
