Monoblocks did not work

Zippyy has the correct definition of the Horizontal biamping. In that one amp used severely (lows)than the other (highs).Vertical biamping on the contrary has each amp driving highs and lows on each of their L/R channels, so that both amp are used equally -loaded.

Thanks for the clarification. What i wanted to say and what i said somehow didn't "jive". No more typing under medication for me... : ) Sean

The best solution for you and your equipment is to bi-amp horizontally. The most obvious reason is the by doing this, (using one amp for the lows and one amp for the highs) it puts the least amount of stress on the amps by using both channels equally.I don't think that you will experience any negative sound affects. Overall, I think it will sound better.
Good luck.

I found vertically Bi-amping to sound better using the Aloia's. It took several calls to get the wiring right so you want to make sure about that.

On My quest for perfection, Over the week end I tried to Bi-wire my Dunlavy V's, with my 2- Classe CA 400 in monoblock configuration ( no vert or hor biamping yet) I DID everything right: Connect to the right terminal at both amp and speakers, Both amps in balanced/mono configuration, speaker jumper removed, using a seperate speaker cables( same make, same length) for bass and mid's. Here is what happened. The right speaker worked alright with the right monoblock. The left speaker made a lound sharp popping noise like little fire cracker! Scared shit, I disconnected the left speaker right away. Did some trouble shooting and put jumpers back on an ran single wired.Turned out that left amp channel fuses were blown on the left monoblock even though the channels were bridged. What might have happend? Do you think the mono switch on the left monoblock may not have engaged?
