Is bi amping worth it ?


New thinking ? 
 

the subwoofer world is quite confusing . so I have  left that decision alone for a bit.  I have recently read where bi amping the khorns could give me the little more bass punch I am looking for. ?    The 601 mono-blocks certainly have enough power but I have a tube pre amp C-2300 that does not separate bass and treble signals so would need to add an external crossover.  
 

anyone have any experience with this ? Is this worth the effort ?  And if so any recommendations on the external crossover ? 
 

thanks again everyone. I greatly appreciate all input from this forum.

I have used a McIntosh MC206 6 channel to biamp AK6 Khorns and a center Heresey.   I'm very happy with the bass and overall sound.

 

As I posted above - mutli-channel amping makes a huge difference in the sound.  You only have to listen to the Linkwitz or Legacy Audio speakers on Youtube to confirm this - nothing quite matches them.

But - few people have the engineering knowledge and skills as Linkwitz and Duddleston (Legacy) - it is a frustrating experience for those who do not have their knowledge and skills to even come close to achieving such improvements in their sound.  

Don't do it - just buy one of their systems and be happy that you did!

Update :

 

after asking this forum about bi amping to pull a little more bass out of my speakers.  I became quite intimidated and also it seemed clear I would need to add another two channels of amplifiers to bi amp correctly . I decided to purchase a stereo pair of subwoofers.   Specifically REL 212 .  Beautifully crafted subwoofers.  I was a little worried with the (4) twelve inch speakers in each sub that they would be overpowering ( two drivers and two passive ) but with the high level connection , one to each mono block . These subs fit in perfectly and if they weren’t so large and hard to miss I would swear it’s just a bit more bass coming from my khorns but bass you can hear much clearer and feel a lot.  
 

it has been the perfect addition . Just what I was hoping to accomplish.  So I am totally satisfied with the sound of this system as of today.  I fear that satisfaction won’t last forever as it never does.
