Single amp with high power is always better. I really value the tonal balance on all volumes which is not achievable with double amps even same models. Since you've mentioned shopping for class D amp that can potentially produce enormous power per single amp, biamping is waste of time and resources.
High power vs bi amp low power?
I am getting a divorce and need to redo my stereo. My X owns the amplifier that powered the stereo.... speakers & pre/pro receivers are mine. Thus I am in the market for new/used amps to power my old speakers.
Presently, the speakers (Infinity Kappa 8.1) are bi amped with a Parasound HCA1500 going to each speaker. I started a thread a while ago discussing class D amps and I am leaning towards getting amplifiers from D-Sonic.
My question is - am I better of going with a 1500wx2 or 800wx2 amp to power both main speakers? Or would I be better off going with say a 4 channel 400w (or 800w) x 4 amp or two 400w (or 800w) x2 amp so each speaker is bi amped?
Not that I crank the music/movies but I do like having more power then needed.
