this ?

Of course. For the past 3 decades.


Any online examples ?

Bi-wiring vs bi-amping
 
My opinion!
Biwring is nonsense
Biamping makes sense especially if you place the crossover in front of
the final amp (but even without doing that there's a good difference).

Biamping with an active crossover, and bypassing the speaker's
internal crossover, can indeed make a difference. So-called 'passive'
biamping using the speaker crossover makes no sense at all, unless
you're using a particularly weedy amplifier which doesn't have enough
current to drive the speakers properly.

In this case, it makes a lot more sense to trade up to one decent
amplifier, than to buy another weedy one!
