Advice- bi-amp using integrated amp

Hi,

I have bought an older version of the same integrated amp (only has pre-out terminals, same power rating, similar spec’s.) for a power amp. How should I configure it? :

1. ‘Power amp’: Connect Amp1 ('pre') pre-outs to a line-level input on Amp2 ('power'), bi-wiring from Amp2?
OR
2. 'Bi-amp' : Amp1 driving the highs on both speakers and Amp2 the lows to deliver cleaner power? Would this introduce delays between the frequencies?

Any thoughts/ comments appreciated,
Ben.

AFA I understand what you're saying, you need a connection as per 1 & powering as per "2".
As to delays -- you probably will have phase irregularities between low & high. You probably won't notice these
