Bi-amping

• Bi-amping may be thought of as an extension of bi-wiring, and is a wiring configuration that not only separates the high-frequency and low-frequency signal currents into separate speaker cables from amplifier to loudspeakers but also uses separate amplifiers to drive the high and low-frequency drivers in the loudspeakers. This is thought to further improve on signal quality by not only preventing the signal currents from interacting on the same cable as in a conventional wiring scheme but also allowing varying current draws by the two sets of drivers to be handled by separate amplifiers. In order to bi-wire you require loudspeakers which have terminals for the high-frequency signal as well as terminals for the low frequency signals and an integrated amplifer/power amplifer combination or two amplifiers. Also see bi-wiring.
