Bi-amping and Bi-wiring are well known concepts that have been around a long time. Both depend on having speakers designed to accept two inputs each. (There are some tri-wiring set-ups also I believe). In one you simply run two sets of speaker cables from the L and R output posts on your 2-channel power amp to each speaker, and in the other you have a seperate power amp (either half of a stereo amp or a single monobloc) feeding each set of speaker posts via its own cable pair. Suitably designed monoblocs have a "pass through" arrangement whereby the two units on each side can be connected to the single source output.
I have been doing bi-amping for several years using four identical monobloc power amps (Musical Fidelity), most recently into B&W Nautilus speakers. Since the arrival last week of my Transporter I have taken the pre-amp out of circuit and now run the Transporter's analog outputs direct to the 4 power amps and on to the B&Ws. Sound is the best I have ever had in my own set-up and is continuing to delight me as I spend more time listening. davep -- davep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28381 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
