Does anybody have any experience of vertical bi-amping with the Pass Aleph 5? I'm wondering if its worth a try, assuming I can get hold of another Aleph 5 of course!
That really depends on the spkrs rather than the amp. I'm sure the Aleph won't mind. But passive biamping is a bit of overkill -- no? Why not use a passive line level xover instead? Far better results there...
Well, you'd be doubling the power (that's +3db /side). But how do you propose to do that -- unless you disconnect the woofer from the internal xover & introduce an outboard low pass. Asaik, they don't have double binding posts (i.e. "biwire"). Cheers
Try driving the bass with any old ss amp at hand (with sufficient output)and check out the result -- before you actually buy an Aleph. Your pre would have to be capable of driving a more difficult load (two paralleled amps). I expect there wouldn;t be a problem.
