One advantage to active biamping is that it provides protection to the tweeter. When the bass amplifier is stressed (clips), the treble amp is unaffected. I ran my IIIa's for about 15 years without fuses and had no tweeter problems.
I married the perfect woman. The downside is everything that goes wrong is my fault.

Ribbon Protection ,That is one of my motivations to bi-amp. I got a great deal on a new B4 on aduigon( $900 ) so It did not seem too much to pay. It is very well built and offers so much flexibilty
Agree whole-heartedly 66mgb. The only thing the B4 doesn't provide is balanced/XLR connections, for those with a pre-amp and/or power amp having XLR's only.
Replaced my blown ribbon, a piece of cake! everything back to normal, though the volume is now a little lower out of caution. As soon as my additional new cables arrive for the crossover, the B4 will be put in place, with a Pass X150.5 on mid and tweeter and a B&K Ex4420 on the bass.
