[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 6883465, member: 576029"] that's not a proper sentence. you're obviously the one smoking something. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] bi-amp is one step away from full active. you can even be running "active" - i.e. one amp channel per speaker with active crossovers and still use a passive crossover. you can insert the bi-amp capable passive crossover to allow for more adjustments - as plenty of other shave suggested. based on the graphs above from ciaonzo, the ONLY way you'd have any benefit from bi-amp is if you used active crossovers BEFORE the passive crossover to clean up the signal and separate frequencies.
