If the speaker designer really thought bi-amping was better, then they wouldn't waste money on the crossovers and filters in the speaker and just run wires from the terminals to the drivers. If you look around, you won't see a huge market for external crossovers. It's a niche product for enthusiasts to try to out perform speaker designers.

I have never heard a difference with bi-wiring and my limited experience with passive bi--amping was a relative sonic disaster. The best sound I have achieved is with high quality speaker cables connected to the Low Frequency terminals with the stock jumper plates b/w LF and HF posts. I found a used pair of Nordost Heimdall 2's that did the trick for me!

Cleaning up your power supply and getting the best source material and components will get you there a lot faster.
