Can a single terminal speaker be bi-amped?


Just acquired a second Hitachi HMA 7500, legendary amp from 70s, revamped by Approved Audio, and want to use both amps with my Kef LS50s. I would double up the speaker cables. What damage could I cause?

The problem is that your speaker would create a pathway AKA circuit that the power from amp one would travel to another. I am embarrassed to say I have done this experiment. The only way you might be able to biAmp is to use a really carefully designed crossover outside the speaker that would override your speaker's one crossover (wich should be disconnected). It is a major undertaking some of the other suggestions make sense e.g. bridging etc.
