Hi,
I have an integrated amp and a power amp - the amp stages are identical.
I have the opportunity to use them for bi-amping (speaker manual mentions it specifically, though nothing about active and/or passive bi-amping).
Having an integrated amp mean that I cannot fully active bi-amp, but only use an active crossover before the power amp.
My speakers are 2-way with a 2000hz crossover, 6ohm.
So in theory… What is best to use the power amp for? Low/mid (< 2000hz) or mid/high (2000 hz <)?
I think it makes best sense to use the power amp for mid/highs because it will be more likely to stay Class A - it’s an Atoll AM200 Signature, and Atoll claim it works in Class A up to about 40W under 8 Ohm (read on another forum).
Does it make sense…? Or should I sell both amps and buy a bigger one (not likely to happen though).
Edit: Just saw the “review” in the end of this section name. Please move the thread
