from what i understand, it is really the same thing as dual stereo. it isn't true biamplification, it's more like biwiring. your speakers will still split the same signals only you'll be wasting treble power on your woofers and vice versus.

if you want true biamplification, you'll need an external crossover such as the behringer DCX2496. i bought my SA-XR55 planning on using it to biamplify maggies down the road with a DCX2496.

i don't believe that an extra channel of full range to a speaker would make that much difference. you'd still be feeding the exact same signal to each driver. true biamping lets you dedicate all of an amp's power to each driver instead of wasting 1/2 of it in the spaker's x-over.

from what i can tell, the panasonic "biamp" mode is no different than the "all speaker" mode on my onkyo.

if i were motivated to unhook my biamp input mission M71s up from my PC, struggle with their hideous posts designed for spades only and then run another pair of cables to them from my panny, i could A/B biamp mode, but i'm not too keen on the M71 sound anyways. they do sound alot better on the panny in regular stereo mode than they do on my onkyo though. they have cheesy 1/2" MDF cabinets. my zeros are way less resonant.
