Hi,
I disagree. I build amps that can do the whole banana. A few other people do also.
As soon as you add complexity, you lose performance.
1) The biamp crossover adds an unwanted extra stage, with a transparency loss.
2) If its an active biamp, tube or solid state, it sounds terrible.
3) The amps in a biamp are usually not EXACTLY alike, so there are different time constants to the presentation.
4) There is always a question, of the preamp's ability to drive more than one amp.
I believe KISS rules in highest quality audio.
