I agree that bi-wiring is a total gimmick

Actually, it's not.

In experiments a while back I determined that there was a difference
between single and bi-wiring, but I couldn't hear a difference between
bi-wiring and bi-amping. (Which, for the benefit of the "it's all in your
mind" crowd, *implies* bi-wiring as well.)

Mind you, with the setup the original poster is describing, it may well be
a gimmick...

By using bi-amping or tri-amping in conjunction with frequency and phase
correction crossover equipment available now you have the ability to have
very flat frequency response, very accurate phasing of the drivers to each
other, and up to 300db/octave crossover slope to minimise driver dispersion
interaction. Drivers can be used within their optimum frequency range. The
equipment has the ability to self calibrate to correct for phase and
frequency response due to different driver sensitivity, etc. This technology
is being taken up by many of the worlds speaker manufactuers and is already
in common use in modern sound studios. Bi or Tri-amping using this
technology has proven to be a major step foward in speaker technology.
