Bi-Amping power amps


Which is the best method of biamping, using a pair of stereo power amps? Use one for each speaker (left to HF,right(with left signal)to LF, or the standard(?)left/right HF to one power amp and left/right LF to other. Or do you recommend something else (split HF, and LF of each speaker across each power amp to balance power draw? I have yet to try all of the above. Has anyone out there tried any of these options??

If they are identical amps (as they should be) I would suggest one amp by each speaker for several reasons: You can use interconnects to go the majority of the way (they usually hold up to distance better than speaker cables, especially XLR) and then use one or two foot speaker cables. This also means you can get two of your high-current devices away from the rest of your gear, which is good. Also having one amp per channel means that you no longer care about cahnnel seperation. They can bleed over all day and it shouldn't really be a problem. Just be sure that the amps are well matched.
