Bi-amp front speakers with receiver (internal) and external integrated amp?

[Buckeye Amps]

You can. For instance. I can breakout the lows with a separate connection and only tune for those on a independent channel using ARC Genesis. Then I can focus on just the highs and mids making those individual speakers sound as good as possible by listening to them independently and not together when running just one set of speaker cables to them all. This helps the overall sound if you can analyze each speaker independently which you can do in the configuration I explained. Make sense? In other words it's much hard to hear what my highs or lows are doing if I'm measuring them all together on one channel, it's just reality.

In terms of measuring: ARC (and any other good Room EQ or measuring software like REW) has no trouble measuring full range sweeps, so it is not necessary to separate out the highs and lows out in regards to measuring and applying correction.
In terms of listening: Most people I know have no trouble listening to full range content and distinictly picking out low, mid, and high characteristics without needing to separate them out on different channels or tracks.

The scenario you are also using is not the standard of what a consumer encounters when looking at bi-amping. Most consumers see two sets of binding posts on their speakers and want to explore running two different amplifier channels of the same full range content on each amp channel to the binding posts (irregardless of Room EQ capability). In this standard scenario, consumers are usually erroneously led to believe that bi-amping will "open up" their speakers by providing more power/dynamics.

Now, if you have an active crossover/DSP setup with each driver (or sets of drivers) getting their own range-limited signal and amplifier channel, there can be appreciable benefits but it is highly dependant on setup for optimal results.

Well, it's not something most people care about doing

If I can get a 15% improvement by doing this I will because I definitely want to take the time to squeeze out the best sound possible. I think this is why many folks just plug things in and say a component is good or bad, if you start to put everything together to its best potential you're going to have a better setup than most.

I would hope that anyone here would know to set their speakers properly and run their room correction and be able to adjust further each setup if they want to get great sound, I guess what I'm referring too takes too much time for most to even consider but it sure has helped my setup. If I try to tune the entire system as a whole before I tune individually that's ok but then cleaning it up afterwards individually has made a big difference for my setup. I assume not many people want to spend hours doing this or don't have a few extra channels on their AMP or don't want to go this deep.
