RE: Bass panels one after the other?

"Does it really matter if both bass drivers use the same amp or different amps?"

I have found that it really matters but that may depend on your setup. For me it is very important to control the volume on the bass panel, which I accomplish by using a separate passive preamp or volume control. I would want to increase the bass levels of the second pair of DWMs to be just below any audible hints of distortion.

The first pair of DWMs are connected to the main speakers and both are controlled by the primary preamp. The volume of the second pair of DWMs is controlled by the passive preamp, which allows me to tailor the bass to the room and my taste. The placement of the DWMs is used to achieve smoother, and if necessary lower, bass response.

This would not be easy to achieve with one amp, which is one of the reasons that many audiophiles prefer the older Maggies that can be biamped. For me it's all about tailoring the panels to your room and tastes.
