When you say "amps with appropriate characteristics could be used for each driver type" - the crucial thing here is that the amps have identical phase angle shifts and slew rates... in fact, they should be sonically identical amps, with only absolute current delivery maybe being different. So yes, you can get away with smaller transformers and reservoir caps for HF, but pretty much everything else needs to be the same. In general it's best IME to use identical amps (unless the amps have been expressly designed for - and into - the speakers...ATC, Meridian et al) Also, there are choices regarding vertical vs horizontal vs diagonal amping... over the years different manufacturers have followed different paths on this, although once you start putting the amps INSIDE the speakers then vertical is the only option... -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
