Bi-amping splits up the audio spectrum and sends specific frequencies to certain speakers (lows to woofers, highs to tweeters, for a basic example).

Bi-wiring is using two sets of wires between the amps and the speakers. This is mostly so that wiring companies can sell more wires, but on extremely-high end audio setups, the wiring can actually affect the sound. Using two types of wires allows you to "blend" the audio.

Like I said, bi-wiring is fruity.]]>Jun 12th 2009 4:17PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/Jun 12th 2009 4:56PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/
If they're bi-amping, they need a crossover. It's likely in this scenario that there's some non-Marantz gear in the signal chain.

If they're bi-wiring, they might just be using splitters. I hope they got 'em at Radio Shack. >:D]]>Jun 12th 2009 5:05PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/
Ahhh, some sort of bridge between amps. Doesn't seem like the best solution but I'm way out of my price range. They're driving those sweet speakers some way, I sure would like to hear them. Thanks for the info.]]>Jun 12th 2009 5:24PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/06/12/marantz-reference-gear-in-the-carlyle-hotel-spoils-you-for-clock/
Marantz isn't using a receiver, but a preamplifer. Most Preamps have 2 pairs of outputs. In this instance, only one pair of outputs are used to connect to the crossover. ]]>Jun 13th 2009 12:02AM
