low frequencies will fry most tweeters. I know I've toasted too many
my self.
an exception to this rule is the piezo tweeters. Their design
naturally rolls off low frequencies.
Now back to the topic:
Bi-wire sounds like a sales gimmick to me, I see no point to it.
Bi-Amp on the other hand with external crossover before the two amps.
one for low freq only and one for high freq only, can really improve
the top end clarity.
This is accomplished by the high freq amp only having to deal with
high freq amplification as the x-over is before the amp. Most amp
power is used in making bass. If you are only amplifying high freq, it
become very hard to clip or distort the amp (unless your playing at
stadium rock concert levels) The same can be accomplished with a
bigger single amp big enough to not muddy the high frequencies when
you hit bass notes at high volume. Having the right x-over with
minimal phase distortion is a whole new topic we won't go into.
So the real question is how loud do you want to play and have enough
headroom to not clip or distort the sound? If your amp is big enough
for how you use it
bi-amping won't improve your sound by much and could be worse if not
using the right x-over. On home equipment if you can't separate your
main amp from your pre-amp sections it won't work in a bi-amp setup
anyway and the point is mute. (except for info) As others have said
the money would be better spent in other areas. Depending on your
situation I agree.
Just some food for thought on a Saturday morning.
