Bi-Amping without dual pre-amp outs

I own bi-wireable speakers and two power amps. I am splitting the preamp out feed with solid piece "Y" adapters and using both power amps.
It would apear to me that since I'm cutting the line level feed in half that perhaps there is a better way to achieve more resolution. Any experience with bi-amping and/or insights will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

I'm pretty sure that most preamps with a second set of preouts are splitting internally for the second pair.

They would have to, wouldn't they? Are you trying to say something about how the two sets of outputs are driven. Many (most?) are simply Y-connected internally but some preamps actually have separate drivers for each set.

Al,

WOW ! ! ! How insightful and encouraging. I'm using MIT 1 meter interconnects and I certainly don't have a shortage of high end frequency. This puts my mind at ease.
Thank you.

Al and Kal,

Thank you also.

Sincerely,

Drew

Just saying: Whats the difference, inside split or outside split?.....it's all good and well.

I agree, Dave, there is no real difference between splitting the signal internally or externally UNLESS there are additional output stages internally.
