I've had it with these K2P Focal speakers so I'm replacing my front speakers with Boston Acoustics Z6 speakers and my rears with Boston Pros. Someone had mentioned to me that I might want to try a bi-amped setup for the front speakers (separate amp for the tweeters). Does anyone know exactly what the benefit is of having a bi-amp setup like this?

Thanks,

a lot of power going to the speakers. i'm running a set of z6. you gotta build a kickplate of some sort for them to fit. they're awesome speakers though.

What's wrong with your focals?

Well I got the Focal K2P to fit in the door ( hard as hell) so I figure I can get the Bostons in there.

I'm just not really happy with the sound from the focals. I had trouble filtering certain higher frequencies from their front mids. I also took apart their tweeters and I wasn't really impressed with the build quality. Leave it to the French.

they have a different sound because their cone is kevlar. paper reproduces the best sound, IMO. i've heard wood is supposed to be really good, JVC just came out with a wooden cone. the z6 need a lot of depth to clear. around 4 - 5 inches if i were to guess.
