I think it depends on whether you are biamping vertically or horizontally. For vertical biamping (bridging amp to mono) I would recommend staying with the exact same amps. If you are talking horizontal biamping, one amp fo bass the other for the mids and highs, I disagree. I have found that using amps from different manufacturers with different slew rates and different power outputs to not be a problem. I've used less expensive, more powerful amps like an Adcom (200wpc)on the bass, then driven the mids/highs with a lower powered Classe/ Counterpoint (100wpc) or such with very good results. I hope this helps.
Bi-amp with same sort of amp?
Talked to a man today about my loudspeaker project(that never gets ready).He ment that it´s preferable to use the
same type of amps for the subs and the rest of the system.
According to him, using different types of amps, with different slew-rates ("speed" -if you want) often ends up in a mess.
I use Volt 12" woofers, in separate enclosures, and I will run them up to about 65 Hz,only, using a VMPS electronic crossover(only low-pass filtering). I will use a 8" and two 3.5" Accutone ceramic drivers and an Eton ER 4 tweeter per channel.
Having built some speakers in my days, this is my first time
using an electronic crossover for Hi-Fi.(I used the word bi-amp for convenience, in the title).
Any opinions are welcome!
