[QUOTE="pwatts, post: 1190411, member: 146"] Passive biamping has it merits since the amplifier distortion rises under load and therefore separating the tweeter amp will keep its output unaffected. It's often come up but biamping with a multichannel amp i.e. same power supply seldom brings gains though, you need independent amps. Bridging sometimes helps, especially for HT, but it also raises noise and distortion. Bridging will raise the output by 6dB so unless you bridge for both woofer and tweeter you anyway will have a mismatch. Can be addressed but I won't do it here. The RB976 incidentally is a very popular amp for active biamping (Linkwitz Orions for example), but that's an entirely different kettle of fish. My advice would be, if you use the 976 solely as a stereo amp and wish to improve matters, flog it and get a better stereo amp. [/QUOTE]
