Passively bi-amping


I have 2 Pass Aleph 5 60 W stereo amps that I'm passivly bi-amping a pair of Nautalus 802's. Amp1 left channel powers the woofs, right channel the mids and tweets. Same with amp2. Is this worth doing or did I buy a second amp for no reason. I asked Nelson Pass if I could convert these to monoblocks, but he said no.

If you go active, you can get some monster power(Sunfire 600 for example) for the bass and leave Aleph to do the rest of job.

B&W X-overs even on flagship models is not the best you could think of. Adding an electronic X-over(bypassing or removing the built-in one) will give you more flexibility to get from your speakers the best jewels without breaking the bank on a pair of x250's.
One Aleph 5 is definitely not enough to power-up 802's and to be frankly not even enough both of them to open 'em up despite how great they are.
