RE: Why bi-amp stereo amps

Forget hall effect. In going to Biamp with a PAIR of the XA 30 series, I'd ALSO install a Line Level crossover.
My panels crossover very near the 50:50 point for power needed, this with the low cut of the main speakers and addition of a sub.
The Line Level crossover would net me NEARLY 3db due ot the amps not even SEEING the out of band signal. Net result would be quite the bump in power. don't forget the 30.5 redlines at about 200 watts per channel @4ohms.

My current setup with a pair of Parasound A23 has about the net power of a SINGLE A21 but will roughly double that after the line level crossover installation.

The Pass would be a 'Dream System' but the Parasound is NOW.

I'm puzzled that many manufacturers are deleting the biamp/wire provision. But I can understand for 2 reasons. Costing and minimal real effects of bi amp/wire when the crossover INSIDE the speaker is left in the circuit. THAT is the limit.
Too much is never enough
