Bowers & Wilkins CM5 - not that great?

Passive bi-amp, especially from the same AVR/same shared power supply, shouldn't do anything at all. Most of us have tried passive bi-amp using 2 different amps and it still didn't do anything at all.

Passive bi-amp is a total waste of time, regardless of theory.

I'm not even sure there's a theory.

I understand its a controversial issue but I got more DB on the receiver without distortion on the speakers. The only thing i could think of is that +18db is providing the same power as +15 in non-biamped mode? I was going purely off the numbers as my hearing perception starts cutting off around +9db and I dont really perceive an increase in volume but sharpness in my ear

There's no controversy. Some people believe in magic, others don't

Some else has to be off if there's a volume difference. Did you remove the jumpers before you bi-amped them?

Jumpers are removed and receiver in biamp mode.

Had to replay my protection video to see exactly how many chuckles, chortles, snorts, guffaws, and absolutely chokes on my ice cold tea I had I actually got after that one.

Bi-amp should not sound differently at all. If it sounds differently, then something is wrong - setup, volume, etc.

The bowers are excellent just not excellent and at 800 bux for the couple id like to prevent created in Chinese suppliers since I know it expenses a portion of that to generate them over there.

I looked back and noticed every single post is poorly rephrased, collection of words. have zero original content -
