Hi Guys; since the 2's run each driver full range could you bi-amp and by providing a volume control on the tweeter lower the level to match the woofer? Or would a seperate amp overload the tweeter?

Why not use volume controls on the amps or crossover to lower the levels on the tweeters. Also make sure the tweeter amp can drive capacitance loads since that tweeters a piezo.

Yeah thats what I was wondering, It is my understanding there is no crossover on the 2's.

Sorry for the belated reply, I've just returned from a business
trip. I've done this on a 2 PI Tower. It works fine. I can't
make a cogent comment on the quality difference because I haven't
given it a fair trial using two amp channels versus one in
conditions I consider comparable. I think it's a promising
approach, though.
