Bi-amping Rules


I wasn't sure if this question belongs in the amp or the speaker section but I figured I'll post it here. Those of you who have bi-amped your speakers, what's the general rule for deciding which amplifiers are better for low frequency vs. the high frequency drivers. I recognize an accurate answer will depend on the particular speakers and amp combinations but I'm looking for general rules of thumb from personal experiences and not application specific recommendations. For the sake of the argument, let's assume the amps are different but the gains on both amps can be adjusted if that matters. Thanks.

there are four descent ways:

1. The best one is not to biamp at all and use single amplifier of sufficient power or monoblocks.
2. Active speakers are usually bi-amplified or can accommodate an external amplifier along with built-in, because they have ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER
3. Replacing built-in crossover with electronic and use same or different amps
4. Mating amps of the same brand with existing passive built-in crossover.

Can you share a number of your 'supply' dealer so I can try it too?
