Bi-Amping, best way??

I'm gonna have a play at biamping, since i have two Marantz PM6010OSE's, and wanted to know what people thought the best way of doing it was.... i'm think that i have CD into amp 1, then take tape-out from amp 1 into Aux in of Amp 2, and then have Amp 1 drive the Hi of Speaker 1 & 2, while Amp 2 drives the Lo of Speakers 1 & 2.

anyone have any thoughts in this setup, or can suggest an alternative/better.

btw the Pm6010's don't have any sort of pre-in/out.

cheers

Has anyone tried bi-amping using different amps ie. one ss amp that has great bass and one ss amp that has great highs and mids? Are there any issues running different amps that have different power output 600 watt amp for the bass and 200 watt amp for the mids/highs

Been listening to my CDs for hours now since I did my experiment of running the tweeter/mid drivers using the Mcintosh 402 and the bass drivers using the Bryston 7B-SSTs on the B&W 802Ds. I have been VERY pleasently surprized and VERY happy with the results. The issue I had after "upgrading" the digital cable from my MVD861 to the MX135 with a GREEN HORNET digital IC (for the purpose of increasing detail), was that the detailed was greatly improved but the music became more bright/harsh. So, I tried bi-amping using the Bryston amps to drive the bass and the mcintosh to drive the high/mids. The music has become (to my ears) more natural. The highs and mids are very detailed but without the brightness and the bass just continued to fantastic!. I'm sure there are folks who will not agree with this set up for one reason or another but as with all things audio, you need to try it to see if you like it regardless of what you believe to be true or correct.
