Dawnrazor:"I think there is one possibility you missed."
Actually I missed more than one. :o)
With multi-amping (2/3/4 way etc.), you can have passive filters after and/or before the amps, and "before" the amps there is also active/analog and active/digital, where active/digital could be in a PC or in an outboard DSP based unit.
The easier way to think about it is when you only have ONE AMP. No matter what you do then, you're bi-wiring / tri-wiring.
Multi-amping as Christine has done (passively on the ouput using parallel networks) is a great way to go. Each passive network gets it's own amp circuit back to the wall plug, thus greatly reducing (if not eliminating) the IM distortion that the all-too-common method of daisy-chaining multiple passive networks on one single amp can cause. It's also a great idea for people who NEED to have SET amplification, but also have speakers that employ parallel networks. If you're a 300B maniac, you can bi-amp or tri-amp your system, meaning you can get 16 or 24 WPC instead of just 8 watts - but you need to spend three times as much! :o)
"But honey, I need to get six 300B monoblocks. Christine is multi-amping, why can't I? C'mon... PLEEEEASE?!?"
Now we just need a solution for our friends who are stuck with series crossovers! ;)
Anyways, back to work. My ass is grass today and the boss in the lawnmower.
Cheers,
Presto
