You can post links if you like. As Ken says it is doubtful that you would hear any difference at all with passive biamping. IMO it is a waste of hard earned money.

AFAIK, the impedence of the speaker doesn't change when you biamp; especially since the internal crossover is not being bypassed. Also, your Marantz can probably handle a 4 ohm load (should you with to throw M80s at it); it's a well made receiver, probably not marked for 4 ohms due to regulatory hurdles.

Oh no "

You are correct Ken, it does not change the impedence. There is no real benifit in doing this.

wow that burst my bubble. GD it all! It really wouldn't make a difference eh? Or would i have to bypass the internal crossover? I guess if i want more power then i'll have to buy BIG.

Well, if you want more power, you'd just mono-amp (to coin a phrase) with a big power amp. Such a Halo, Outlaw Audio, Rotel, Odyssy Stratos, or other, to name a few. Arr, the cliches be flyin'!

Biamping doesn't add power at all. It just (theoretically) lets you match amplifiers with individual drivers... if you have an external crossover between the amps.
