I've got my set up bi-amped at the moment, whereby one amp does the bass, the other the treble.
I was wondering if experts on here feel that this is the best way forward, or ought I to bridge my two amps into mono configuration, and run one for each speaker?

System is Cyrus, CD8x, Pre-VS2, two Smart Power amps, running Cyrus CLS70 speakers on the Cyrus stands, which are sand-filled.

Interconnects and speaker cable match the setup.

what source are you using??

Use each amp as a power monoblock to power each speaker.Then use a seperate pre amp..

Cyrus CD8x is a CD player.

I've got my power amps configured as left/right monoblocks. I think it is better than separating the bass and treble. If you have the speakers biwired then this is the best set-up.

IMO; try it either way and stick with what works best for you:

The amp should give more output power as a bridged mono unit.

BUT with biamp between the bass and mid/treble allows one to trim the upper an lower volume to suit your tastes without messing with the tonal controls (presuming the power amps have trimming controls).

Unless your speakers have adjustable crossover units (out of fashion these days - but very handy ), which would work just as well on a single amp.

There are a few technicalities with the speakers impedance characteristics that may mean one method of amping will work better than another; depends how happy and flexible the amp is with respect to load impedances. Especially at high outputs and maintaining a good level of THD. Whilst theory could waffle on for decades as to what works best physically or mathematically, I would just pick what sounds best.
