Any suggestions gratefully received.
The 557 amplifier is a stereo amp that can be bridged for a mono output. Because I have two of them I could run them in mono mode with one powering each speaker. However I use them in stereo mode which means I have 4 channels of amplification. This means that instead of 680 watts per speaker I am running 200 watts per driver (i.e. 200 watts for left bass, 200 watts for left tweeter and so on). This is the way the designers of the amp had intended it to be used. In momo mode I could only bi-wire not bi-amp. I don't know of the atc 100 you mention. The speakers I was talking about are Called A.C.T. and made by a british company called Wilson Benesch. -- MikeFish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MikeFish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33868 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
