Bi-Amping


I am desiring some speakers that can be hooked up to 2 different Amps at the same time. Being a neophyte in the audiophile community I am assuming this is referred to as Bi-Amping as opposed to Bi -Wiring.

At the same time, it seems very hard to even find a set of spkrs that are even described as Bi- Amp capable.

Am I getting this? Thank U--r

. . . not sure you really want this to be your primary criteria for speaker purchase. I would not. Rather, pick the speakers that sound like and look like what you really want, and cost w/i your budget. In all likelihood they will have dual binding posts (most do) and be "biampable" (most are). You can verify this as your last "tie breaking" decision.

I suggest you also read up on biamping. Search the archives here and you will find extensive discussion. It sounds like you are considering "passive biamping" which rarely produces a benefit as you will read in the archives. "Active biamping" is a whole 'nother undertaking and since it removes the crossover, you may not need to worry about whether the speakers have dual binding posts.
