No, You Cannot Bi-Amp

The problems of newbies asking how to biamp is a regular feature of this and other sites.
Those folks are the ones I am writing about.
As for the reasons, that IS my reason for making it into a rant.
The folks who know what they are with biamping do not ask questions about biamping, as least not on Audiogon.

As for going through all the bother as to why it is not so great an idea.. plenty of posts on the benefits vs downside of biamping have been posted. Are we all supposed to explain the history of the world in every post?

As for Bombaywalla, I realize his need for clarity and precise arguments is bothering him when he reads my posts.
I tend to be oblique, and assume folks have some basic sense. Also perhaps he is not really getting some of my subtle humor?
Anyway, the fact of Bombaywalla not liking my style does not bother me in any way whatsoever. Sorry Bomb.. but you bombed IMO. And I look forward to years of you shaking your head in disgust at my writings.. LOL
(enough folks have appreciated my writing to make me able to easily just ignore bombaywalla's rantings.)

Bi-amping provides more flexibility in circumstances where more flexibility is warranted. While that flexibility MIGHT provide improvements it can provide problems. The Nigels of the world read this forum and will take advantage of the fact that the electronic crossover goes to eleven - or twelve.

As I read it, Elizabeth was telling the OP not to get involved if he doesn't know what he's doing -- and, if he's asking here, he plainly does not.

I have owned and used actively bi-amped systems at least 3 times over the years. To me, they have held great potential that I never felt I fully realized. I even went so far this last time around to hire a professional sound man to come in and set it up for me. The results were very good -far better than what I was able to accomplish on my own, but in the end, I commissioned Bill Woods to design passive crossovers for my system. I'm much happier knowing the crossovers were custom designed for my cabinets and drivers and not having so many cables and components cluttering my life.

My experience supports the KISS principle. There is way too much fantasy out there about DIY and mods. Some of us have the skills to know what's an improvement and what's just a way to spend money kidding ourselves. Most don't.

Elizabeth - I have always found your comments to be informed, opinionated and reasonable. In short, you are one of the better, more entertaining contributors. Perhaps Bombay's problem with you is not in your commentary but in your pants. You got to remember you're just a girl and keep your place instead of butting into important man stuff. So why don't you just trundle yourself off to the kitchen and whip him up a mess a grits and eggs and quit trying to act like you know something about man thangs? Sheeesh!!

Liz, I like my eggs over easy and I prefer link sausage, some buttermilk pancakes would be nice also. Would you mind putting on a Monk LP whilst you prepare my vituals? :)
BTW, I think your posts are highly entertaining.

Thanks guys! Unfortunately my kitchen skills are pretty much non-existant. My oven gets a hard workout making a frozen pizza. LOL.
The top burners are good for popcorn, a can of beans,
My most complicated dish is spagetti.. with bottled sauce.

I detest the smell of cooking in general. (meat is really the worst smell)
My personal Hell would be stuck cooking in a really hot dirty, smelly greasy spoon resturant serving 'baby on a stick" (in Hell remember..) LOL!

I am no model housewife. Thank You.

((Maybe Bombaywalla would like a bit of my "Baby on a stick" dish???)) I wonder???
