JBL speakers are very carefully designed and built. In my experience they generally cannot be improved through bi-amping. In fact often quite the reverse is true. Whatever you do try not to do something that you cannot later undo. There are speakers that lend themselves to bi-amping that are greatly improved when this is done. JBL is not one of them. I hate be the naysayer here.
BiAmping JBL 4367 Speakers
I was considering running a tube amp on the horn portion of the JBL and keeping a solid state amp on the woofer section. My Trinov preamp has a fully adjustable electronic crossover, so I could set a crossover point for 700 Hz for the amps.
The question is would it hurt to use the external binding posts to each driver section of the speakers and leave the passive crossovers in place. I suppose I could eventually bridge the connections in the passive crossover and go directly to the drivers, but this is just a trial to see how things work.
Any significant problems with doing it this way?
