For the past 5 days I've been bi-amping my N802's with a Proceed Amp 2. I currently own a Proceed amp 3. My speaker wire is Audioquest CV-6 36 volt for the mid and tweets. The lows are provided via Audioquest Crystal. It's a heavy garden hose style 10 guage cable.
My listening music is primarily Jazz with a heavier bass presence for the critical a/b testing. The overall impression was the lower regions are fuller with greater presence. This was not by a great margin. I had to perform many a/b tests to determine this.
The sound stange was slightly larger and perhaps a little more dynamic...and I mean only a little.
My overall impression was there was a slight improvement. My dealer will let me have the Crystal cable and amp for about $675 USD. From what I've heard I will likely return the goods to the dealer. Frankly, I was hoping for a great improvement from a bi-amping experience. I'm thinking the 802's provide such a full bodied sound that big improvements will only come in small portions. The theary of diminshing returns... Has anyone else had this experience?
Thanks, Jeff
