Dual mono’s or dual stereo’s?

I would like to bi-amp my speakers ( Monitor Audio PL300).

One choice is to get 2 x 4b cubes and use each amp per speakers with one channel driving the lower frequency and other channel driving the higher frequency.

Second choice is get 2 x 7B cube mono’s and use one per speaker.

Which setup will result in best sound quality – dual mono’s or dual stereo’s?

Hi Banter

Because the speaker has a built in passive crossover I would go with the 7B's.

Thank you, James. The dealer said the same thing.

Go with the one amp per speaker.

Not all speakers are amenable to bi, tri or multi-amping.

Use two amps per speaker (Bi-Amp) ONLY if you can surgically separate the woofer section from the midrange/tweeter section by cutting wires in the speaker's crossover.

Gary, I thought by removing the jumper cables at back of speaker, you are non-surgically separating the two sections.

I don't know how your speaker is wired internally. You have to check the schematics. Removing the jumpers MIGHT completely separate the woofer and midrange tweeter sections.
