    BiAmp (Bi-Amplification - Not Quite Magic, But Close) - Part 2
    Thanks, I have read similar and understand that I am still using the internal crossover.

    In reading that link, and your comments, it almost appears that you are both saying that it does not matter what amps are used, I won't hear it.

    Well if that is the intended message, it's cow pies. If I mis-understood, enlighten me.

    Update after a weeks time

    Good Bad or Different, all hard to say but you can clearly hear the signature sound of each amp coming through.

    Although I will most likely switch back to a single amp so I can add my sub back, I have enjoyed the sound quite a lot from this experiment. I have yet to swap the amps from top to bottom and may still do that for fun.

    Last night I got a massage in my listening room with the table setup so my head was in the sweet spot at just about a perfect triangle. The imaging was scary as I laid face down with the speakers at my feet yet hearing the sound as if it was above my head or coming from everywhere. It was scary at times depending on the track and I kept lifting my head to be sure what way I was facing. This probably has nothing to do with bi-amping but until I reverse the setup and get another massage, I won't know.

    Is the sound cohesive? i.e. does it sound like you're listening to music with treble and mids produced by one amp and bass by another or does it sound like one amp?

    It is surprisingly cohesive and probably more due to the internal crossover but with ears against the speakers, you can hear the differences between amps from the lower woofer to the upper midrange speaker.

    Short answer is yes, the bass exhibits the characteristics of the Stratos while the mids and highs exhibit the characteristics of the Counterpoint.
