Bi-amping does have some manufacturer support. There is also reasonable science in that amps react differently to load changes. All amps distort and most measurements are not complex waveforms driving loads. Reducing the load on an amp reduces distortion even when the amp is not "clipping".
The degree of distortion is audible (driving a speaker) is not fully understood.
Passive crossovers networks can be very good but are not necessarily linear and may interact when connected.
Passive Bi-amping may be beneficial and worthwile but it depends on your speakers, amp, and perception. By that, I mean if a person finds no benefit, that is a completely valid conclusion as is finding a benefit.
The salient points are:
- The claim that passive bi-amping is a waste and of no possible benefit is FALSE.
- Bi-amping is simple to try at home and hear for one-self
I don't know how to be clearer that that
I use Monoprice 12x4 cables. I suppose it is possible the Kimbre cables improve sound. I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars to find out.
Harmon (Veocks) is
clearly NOT recommending bi-wiring.
