Bi-wiring and Bi-amping for Dummies (Well, One dummy amyways)

Whenever I have compared two amplifiers of the same family but one twice as expensive, the more expensive one has sounded much better (much)... not just power wise... but noice floor and tonal characteristics. So, my reasoning has been, buying two amps of lesser sound quality might get you a more powerful sound... but not higher quality input sound. So I could never get myself to do it. 

Theoretically, one could argue that because you separate the speaker components to different amps you get a sonic improvement there. But that it could be greater than the improvement in a much better amp seems like it would be unlikely. But I have not done it. 

If someone had actually done a legitimate comparison I would be interested... So same amp brand and kind, two amps half the price of the single amp. I’d be interesting to hear. 
 

If you can simply afford anything, then four top of the line monoblocks for bi-amping I am sure would be the way to go. So, say four Audio Research Reference 330m monoblocks. 

@lordmelton I did buy the most expensive speaker cables I was willing to pay for. Morrow Audio SP6 cables. What are the "jumpers" for? Like I said, I have never had speakers with this capability before. As for the extra cost of the cables being adapted for bi-wiring, it only adds $150 to a pair of cables that retail for over $4200. That's not bad in my book. 

@ghdprentice Your logic makes total sense but I selected my monoblocks not for just their price,but their sound and compatibility with my other components as well. The comparison you speak of would be great to hear about. 

Back in the day when they were producing 100 W amps and those were the monsters of the day. While the low end was wild the treble had something to be desired. They found that if you put a tube amplifier on the high frequencies the sound would be more enjoyable and energetic. Today’s modern amplifiers have solved a lot of problems so bi-amping is not necessary in today’s systems.

hope this helps

@gkelly It does help, a LOT! Another $6500 is a lot of money to spend for little to no improvement. What are your thoughts on bi-wiring? Thank you for the post.
