Anyone tried active biamping with Martin Logans?

I've just acquired a pair of Aerius i electrostats and a two Adcom power amps and was planning to passively biamp them. But, I have been reading about the advantages of active biamplification and have seen some Behringer active crossovers cheap on eBay. Wondering if this is worth further investigation. Any comments would be appreciated.

Adcom and ML. Sounds like a recipe for some serious bright sound. I've had ML in the past, Adcom is not the amp that comes to mind for them....however, perhaps the Behringer can produce a miracle.

Good luck!

"Successfully driven". That means you could hear the music play. Not much more.

I've heard a pair of Soundlab A2 being driven by the McIntosh MC1201 monoblocks. These are rated at 1200 Watts at 8 ohms. Even with that power, the Soundlabs could not produce a volume level that I wanted without setting off the protection circuits in the amps. Sure, they successfully drove the speaker, and the Soundlabs sound great, however not for me.

Having been a ML owner, I would look for solid state with high current, doubling down.

Best,

Paul :-)
