i don't think that the panny is truly doing biamplification, it's doing biwiring. if you want to use the panny for true biamplification, you'll need an external x-over.

i bought my SA-XR55 with that as my intended purpose eventually. i was going to get maggie MMGs and x-over with a behringer DCX2496 sending 4 channels of analogue in. now i'll be getting a DEQ2496 instead for 2 channels of room correction only with a digital out eventually feeding a monarchy DIP2496 upsampler/jitter reducer.

if you're looking to biamp, then the SA-XR55 is a great unit and the behringer x-over will also let you tune your in room response to +-1dB if you buy a $50 mic.

had i known my panny would breathe so much life and detail into my NHT superzeros, i would have bought an SA-XR70 instead for high rez HDMI multichannel digital audio.

from what i've gathered from my owners manual, "biamp mode" is really just dual stereo or what my onkyo called "all channel mode". you'll be sending the same full bandwith signal to both your drivers and still having the speaker's x-overs doing the same thing only with one channel wasting treble power and the other wasting bass power.
