It constantly amazes me that guys will spend Hundreds of $$$ on expensive passive upgrades when going biamp with pedestrian equipment will cost the same or less and generate dramatic improvements. You can ask why doesn't magneplanar (or other manufacturers) offer a biamp option? Well if they allow their customers to pick amps and crossover settings it becomes a very complicated set-up procedure and the customer will risk blowing something up. That's why on the biamp tri amp products out there you also see the Amps included in the package. I thing with the newer products like the ICE amp modules that provide audiophile performance we will see some more BIAMP producs out there. However, only in the highend speakers $5K or better.Though the cost in quantities for the ICE modules are about $350 that means the manufacturer has to bump the price at least a couple kilobucks per speaker to offer a pair of them in a biamp configuration.
