[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 1190412, member: 19443"] In my opinion there are only really two reasons to bi- amp (without going into all the other considerations bi-amping might bring about): 1. To lend the high frequency a different flavour by using a different amplifier. 2. To absolutely avoid damage to tweeters by using a different amplifier to the one driving the low frequency, should it be driven to clipping. Using the 6 channel amplifier as you suggest above gives you none of those advantages. The amplifier will clip when its power supply becomes stressed by demand from the low frequency bridged channels. This will affect all the channels including the ones used for the high frequency. I agree with Hendrik- use two bridged channels per side and leave it at that. [/QUOTE]
