Bi Amp with Amp?

Does/ can one use a two channel amp to bi-amp a single speaker? Or is that over kill? Or even possible?

    You can use 2 of the same amps and do a horizontal or I prefer a vertical bi-amp. You must remove the jumpers on the speakers.

    This will obviously increase your head room, and requires 2 sets of speaker cables per amp/speaker

    Do not use 2 different amps unless you want to go completely passive and disconnect the crossovers ...whole different ball game

    Waste of time. If the amps are capable of running bridged, do that to each speaker with quality jumpers. Thank me later.
