Hi All
Its quiet around here so I thought I would stir up a bit of discussion about something that interests me a bit. Active vs Passive Bi-amping. I seem to recall Bob mentioning in the past he was not a big fan of active bi-amping, and preferred the passive variety. I can't quite seen to recall the reason for this, so I thought we might have a little 'conflab' about it and see what people think. Any thoughts, observations, feelings about it or whatever would be appreciated.
I have experimented with passive bi-amping in the past with excellent results. It was with a speaker that went down to 2 ohms at crossover - a hard load for any amp. Still two Rotel amps sounded better than a better quality single amp (an ME amp - a really high current amp). Mono it beat the Rotel (not by a lot BTW), but bi-amping - the Rotels won - and at a cheaper cost overall. I may have to get my Minis bi wireable when fiances finally allow me to take delivery just to experiment a bit. Sigh - like so many a casualty of the horrid economic environment.
Thanks
Bill
