In simple terms, the practice of bi-amping involves the use of an active crossover network on an audio signal so that the crossover sends high-frequency audio (HF) into one amp and low-frequency audio (LF) into another amp. Both of these amps are connected to different inputs on the speaker.

Is bi-amping speakers better?
Simply the doubling the power only produces a small increase in level, so bi-amping really doesn't make the sound any louder … but it definitely makes it better, with cleaner, solid bass and more detailed highs.
Does bi-amping make a difference?
How does bi-amping make a difference? Bi-amping provides more usable current to the speaker. Instead of a single channel's worth of power divvied up between the woofer and tweeter sections, each speaker section gets a full channel's worth of juice.
Can bi-amping damage speakers?
Active bi-amping can absolutely.
What is the advantage of bi-amping?
The advantage of bi-amping is the complete separation of the amplification of the bass and the mid to higher range frequencies. This however requires two amplifiers per speaker.
