    I'm not an expert, but the pre-amp signal is 75ohm and low current. Splitting the preamp doesn't attenuate noticably, and even if it did, the amplifier would compensate. You would just have to set the volume higer.

    I want to remind you what I mentioned in my earlier post. The speaker is not seeing 220wpc, but the Highs are getting 110wpc and the bass is getting 110wpc. It isn't cummulative. In actuality, you will have a little more power becuase your speakers are 4 ohm nominal. The 110wpc rating is for 8 ohm. But it still won't be 220wpc
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    Ok, Ok. I bi-amped the LSi 15's. Tested thoroughly and am now convinced there is no noticeable benefit. Thanks to all for your help/suggestions.
