I have bi-amped a 3.6R using a Marchand XM-44-2 (with modules as per Magnepan's recommendations found in the speaker's user guide) and Magnepan's XO-1 (also set following Magnepan's instructions (both that in the speaker's and XO-1 instructions). I used Bryston amps; two 7B-STs and a 4B-SST. (I've done the same using a Tympani IV-A.) Truth be told, listening to most program material at reasonable levels there was very little (if any) difference to be heard no matter how I listened to those Maggies, (either in their usual stereo configuration or a bi-amped one). No "blankets", "coloration", "electronic molestation" or anything else of the kind. There must either have been some human error involved in the manner your system was wired/set-up, or a problem associated with the Bryston X-O. My bet is on the latter!
