Why passive bi amplifying exists???

Seriously, I have no life.
I don't know. People seem to think that passive bi amping from amplifiers being sourced by the same power supply does make a difference. I think its BS. Also, I was responding to Kingnoob so I dont know why your showing me an angry face. ;)
That face isn't for you, it's for the question and continuing debate.

Ahh. :) All good then :)
Found another new thread keeping this myth alive.

That AVS thread is Bullshit! High frequencies don't require much power and there's no need to use a second amp to amplify them. All is needed might be a better more powerful amp.

Passive bi-amping is a complete waste of electricity, wiring, amplifiers, and time because there is no increase in power and no audible difference (unless you, say, botch the polarity of one of the connections, twice as likely to happen, I might add, because you've needlessly made your setup twice as complicated with double the number of connections where you might accidentally botch polarity.

Interestingly the way most people apply passive bi-amping, say on an AVR where the extra channel of amplification they are using comes the the same receiver running the same singular power supply for all its channels, the power is actually decreased. This is because the fewer channels you run on a multi-channel amp the more power each has. Basically that one master power supply gets divvied up into fewer pieces of pie so everyone (every channel) gets more pie!

Who wants the biggest piece of pie? ME. Nom nom nom
