RE: Bi-amp fail and Amy Winehouse

Ok, I have said it before. Biamping at the speaker level is a waste of time. In order to get the benefit of biamping, it has to be done at the line level - either actively or passively - and this becomes a big deal. Slopping a 4th order L-R at the approximate crossover frequency just ain't gonna cut it. The crossover has to be carefully designed to match the OEM that the manufacturer had in mind.
When one biamps at the speaker level there is no real crossover. What one has, is two parallel filters neither of which interacts with the other (i.e. the "rejected" high frequency from the low pass filter does not crossover to the tweeter and vv). This was not what the manufacturer set out to do.
Others may disagree, but they are wrong :).
