Given the 18dB & 12dB XO slopes in the IIIa, the way they should be biamped is by:1. not using the IIIa external XO box.
2. using a 2-way active XO after your preamp / DAC.
3. feeding the outputs from this 2-way XO into 4x identical monoblocs or 2x identical stereo amps.
The 2-way active XO can be either analogue ... or digital. (I started off with analogue active XOs - but, after nearly 20 years, changed to digital (miniDSP).)
