True, (and I know this was discussed many times on this board years back), but since each "half" of the speaker is only really reproducing it's frequency range and not reproducing the frequencies outside of it's range, the speaker is actually drawing less power from each amp stage at any given setting on the receiver when I bi-amp right?

What I mean is, lets say I have the receiver at -12db. The high part of the speaker is dissipating, let's say 10W, and the low part of the speaker is dissipating, let's say 10W also. That means the single amp is "delivering" 20W.

If I leave the receiver setting at -12b, and change to bi-amp, both low and high still dissipate 10W, but now each amp is only "delivering" 10W.

In the end, if I had my sound meter measuring before and after, the sound level should be the same, right? And, I gained headroom on each amp.

Am I missing something?
