OK....if I want to Bi-amp and am running the signal from the pre out on my reciever to the amps.
Can I just split the signal coming from the L/R pre outs on the reciever and send 1 signal to one amp,
and the other signal to the 2nd amp.

A possibly cheaper route would be to replace the garbage, oxidized easily brass jumpers that come with speakers to something of higher quality.  Bolder Nitro's w bybee's, albeit $$$, made a signifigant differnce to my ears.  There are however much cheaper options that would still be an upgrade.  You can always use a short run of the SAME speaker cable you use currently to bridge as well.

Try it.  Bi-Amping is nice, as you are generally able to use a much cheaper, possibly pro sound amp on the bass and a much higher quality amp on the mid/tweeter and will have a noticeable differnce in sound as well.

Good luck!

I have a Bel Canto EVO 2 (120 x 2) and a Rotel RB1080(200 x2).
I just run the Bel Canto right now bi-wired with Nordost Vahalla's into my Egglestonworks Andra II's.
I was planning on running the Rotel to the lows & the Bel Canto to the highs.

I don't think you want to use a passive splitter if bi-amping with dissimilar amplifiers.
