Ok I know that this topic has been and is still being beat to death.
I recently aquired enough equiptment to enable me to experiment with passive bi-amping.
I first setup vertical then tried horizontal last night. I gotta tell you that crosstalk or a noticeable distortion in the clarity of the mid/hi's was definatly present. As I listen to dance music as well as latin(salsa) music I can tell you that I know its much better in a vertical configuration. I'm still new to this whole hifi business but have read alot and alot and alot as there is huge amounts of info to be had. I'm going to see how it goes for a while the way I have it setup for now(vertical that is). My future plans are to get an active crossover(DBX 234xs) and give that a try in a passive configuration. And then the obvious is to buy another amp and go full active without the passive crossovers in place. Well gotta get back to work. Comment as you see fit...
