    No pun intended?
    (Sorry, I couldn't resist :D)

    Bi-amping can have benefits in heavy bass scenarios. Likely not an issue with your amp/speaker combination, but, as an example, some of the older Infinity speakers were known to have impedance dips at low frequencies. This could drive an amp into clipping which could then kill the tweeters. So, in such a scenario, bi-amping would save the tweeters and if the bass amp is driven to clipping, the high frequency components of the clipping signal would be blocked by the low-pass filter for the woofer, eliminating some of the popping.

    Thanks for the info..... Err input :)

    So far so good, def not worried about clipping yet. The highs on these speakers are pretty damn bright and I think my ears would hurt before I drove the amp to clipping.

    I have a sub that's taking part of the low end load off of the mains as well.

    The highs tho........ Jeebuz
