PASSIVE

·AMPLIFICATION

For

those that desire ultimate performance, these

speakers may be passively bi-amplified using the

existing internal passive crossover elements.

This

method takes the bi-wiring concept one step

further. You

will

two different methods for bi-amping with two stereo

amplifiers.

The

Horizontal Bi-amping.

The

referred
