It's time to think about bi-amping your speakers!

Steve rolls up his sleeves and bi-amps (uses two stereo amps) to drive a pair of speakers! Good times follow!

Steve bi-amped his Klipsch RP600M and Cornwall IVs, and B&W 607S2 speakers, with Decware Zen Triodes, Schiit Aegirs, and First Watt F7/8 power amps.

I think I explained bi-amping very clearly. NO extra parts (including crossovers) are needed. To bi-amp your present speakers all you need is: A speaker with double binding posts, two pairs of speaker cables, two identical stereo amps (or a receiver with bi-amp capability). THAT'S IT!! Of course, you can make it more complicated, but that wasn't what I set out to do. You don’t have to take my word for it about bi-amping, read the comments from viewers who are doing it! As I described in the video!

Steve, thank you so much for this video, I've learned so much from you. Just tried this Vertical Bi-amp with 2X 829B Class-A Tube Amps, 12WX4 into my older Polk RTi8s. it was an amazing audio experience, punchy & speedy bass, clear & thick Mid, crispy high. I can't go back to my Bi-wired Cambridge setup anymore.

And I just put together my "perfect" system. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in

You know steve ive been with your channel for a couple years..im very thankful for this post

I am bi-amping with my Pioneer VSX-935 receiver and Klipsch F-300 speakers. The receiver does have a bi-amp setting. 12 gauge wire is being used from each channel to power the speakers. I don't have fancy equipment to take measurements, but the difference is astounding! It does sound to me that there is more wattage, but that's just my perception, I'm sure. There is definitely more punchy sound with less distortion. The bass and treble are definitely clearer, with more dynamic range.

Happy new year Steve. All the best for 2021.

A couple of years ago, at the recommendation of the folks at The Stereo Shop in Hartford, CT, I bi-amped the amazing Bowers & Wilkins 805D3s I bought from them (bought on your recommendation) using my Sony AV receiver (also bought on your recommendation). Absolutely astounding sound, both for music and film/TV. The bi-amping really made an incredible difference.

[alanbratt]

Steve, great explanation of bi - amping. I'm currently using a Marantz SR5007 av receiver to bi - amp a pair of Mission MX3s. I found the difference was amazing. The soundstage opened up by leaps and bounds, with fuller, tighter base and much more detailed highs and midrange. Never going back again.

I bi-amplified my Tannoy XT8F's and was impressed with the improvement. Cleaner, faster bass, far better mid and treble fine detail. Also improved sound stage width and depth with holographic imaging. On some recordings I hear sounds coming from the side of my listening position which makes me jump.

[seankelly]

Anyway i watched this to learn and i bi amped my psb towers from my Yamaha rx v575 not only that it made me pay attention to what my receiver can do.OMG what a difference.The sound is so much warmer.i only tried the front psb but now im thinking of trying it on my bower and wilkins 620s

[willleavitt]

I’ve bi-amped Clements RT-8’s, Martin Logan ST-10’s and Newform Research 645’s all with good success over the years. Never thought of going back

[scottbishop]

Thanks for showing the ins and outs on this subject. I'm a big fan of the bi amp camp. I'm currently doing this on my Vandersteen 2ci with amazing results. I use a Sony Ta-n 9000 ES for the amp and its perfect. I had Definitive Technology set up on it but prefer stereo. I was watching a movie the other day and would've sworn I'd been dosed, the soundstage was stunning, with an almost holographic sound. The bi amp is worth the investment of extra cables if you have a surround system to adapt. Keep up the good work Steve.

[sergiokwitko]

Yes, I do use bi-amp with my speakers (vertical bi-amp, with two exactly same stereo amps), and the difference is very noticeable. Much better!

[KCYT]

I've been vertically bi-amping with identical amps for 20+ years. The difference is significant. I'm surprised this is such a revelation for you Steve.

[memocruz]

I did it a year ago with my klf30 and 2 amplifiers Rotel, one 200 wpc to woofers and the other 125 wpc to mid and tweeters and sounds amazing, nothing like before, I am so glad and happy, the power feels at low volume, do it bros you will be very happy with results

[Asianman]

I did this recently using my Cambridge audio Azur 650r on my PSB Imagine T2 and boy did it wake up my T2's! Doing this provided more dynamics and transparency. Plus it allows you to experiment with different speaker cables for the top or the bottom. My current setup is using second generation Kimber Kable 8tc for the bottom end and 4tc for the top end result, perfection to my ears!

[kgrant]

How does biamping the schiits compare to running them as a pair of monoblocks?

[mondoenterprises]

I bi-wired my klipsch rp8000fs thru a sony es avr and I am happy with the results. More punch and detail.

[AlanKPet]

Have a Marantz SR6007. Just purchased Klipsch Heresy IVs (thanks for your review) a month ago.
BiAmped today. So far seems a bit more open plus cymbal decay was clear and long. Have an evening of deep listening. Thanks!!

[jmos]

Steve, you’re the best! Thanks for making the two channel listening topic interesting for so long. Although, lots of esoteric types of amps exist in the marketplace, biamping is the perfect job for an Av amp. I used the biamp function on my marantz sr8015 and it improved my Cornwall IV speakers immensely. Imperceptible difference between the marantz sr8015 and much much more expensive mono block amps. Lastly, great integrated av relievers are a fraction of the cost of dedicated two channel amps.
