Although there might be a germ of truth in your comment about bi-amping, owning a 3.7i which natively can't be bi-amped, you are unable to read Magnepan's comment regarding same as seen in their 3.6R and Tympani IV-A instruction manuals. It's Magnepan's opinion that the advantage of bi-amping is "increased dynamic range and lower distortion", so there now you have it.
Perhaps needless to add, no listener in their right mind could think that bi-amping either the 3.6R or Tympani IV-A could make them go lower than their "design parameters".
Most likely my hearing is far worse than yours, since it's likely that I'm older than you are and have listening to one Tympani or another for nearly 50 years. My Tympani 1-Cs were virtually indestructible and during my early listening years, I played them quite LOUD.
