Hi mpmct
I read the article - I think passive / active refers to the speakers, not the mode of biamping - not that it matters
If you do get another couple of P1's then let me know how you get on.
cheers

Hi Dave,
I think active is a combination of:
one amp per speaker coil, and the crossover earlier in the chain,
so 1) the amps each push a smaller range of frequencies,
and 2) the speakers are minus crossovers at the 'speaker level',
which, as I understand it, are always a compromise
at that spot in the chain.

Some questions ...
Your P1s on HF and P25s on LF, sound better than the inverse?
Or only different? Can you take a stab at describing the difference?
Have you had any problems with 'balance' by using a
combination of different amps?
I hestitate to ask this question because I know
an answer might be tricky, or necessarily a little vague, but here goes:
Would you attempt a description of the sonic difference
between biamping and not, from your experience with your various gear?
Thanks again.
Michael
