On the other hand, what about bi-amping? Would that do any good (for example, pick an amp that's "known" for its high end for the tweeter section, and an amp that's good for bass for the woofer) Which leads to another question. Where are the bindings split on 3 way speakers such as the M80s? tweeter/mid and woofer or tweeter and mid/woofer? Or, in this case I suppose it could be tweeter/tweeter/mid and mid/woofer/woofer. The mind boggles.... Wish they made those in invisible. :-P

I am HIGHLY skeptical about bi- or tri-amping, unless you go as far as removing and bypassing the passive crossover circuit inside the speaker cabinet altogether, and use an active crossover upstream of the power amps.

There is only one speaker that I know of that bi-wire or bi-amping would actually be needed.
http://www.reference3a.com/mmdecapo.htm
There is no crossover so full range can be sent to the upper and lower bindings. I believe a resistor or some sort of circuitry is used on the tweeter to send the correct range of frequencies so that the low frequencies will not be played on the tweeter and damage the cone. I believe the full set of frequencies are sent to the woofer.
These speaker were kinda interesting. I demoed this pair ... the sound was very high in detail but I found it very forward (even though the drivers were not metallic). and they are kinda ugly ... looks like a Driod head from Star Wars ...
