Bi-amping McIntosh MC2120 and MC2125 with Klipsch RP-5


Hi all,

I have a MC2125 and just inherited an MC2120. These should be pretty much the same amp, except the MC2125 has meters.

I have AudioQuest quad wire (Robin Hood and SubZero) and was trying to figure out the best way wire trying to bi-amp.

Question (equipment below):

-Should I run the low post from each speaker to 1 amp (amp running as mono) and the highs from each speaker to the other amp?

Equipment:

Mofi Ultradeck —> Transparent Audio Super Phono Interconnects —> Sutherland 20/20 phono preamp —>Transparent ->Audible Illusions Modulus 3A tube phone stage —> AudioQuest Colombia —> McIntosh MC2125 —> Audioquest SubZero biwire and RobinHood Biwire —> old Klipsch RP-5 with powered 12”.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on wiring!

I’m with Glennewdick on this.  You inherited Dad’s amp, and you want to incorporate it into your already well equipped system…very understandable…but your system simply doesn’t need it. Put the 2120 on a shelf in a place of honor, or develop a second system built around it, or…best idea…get different speakers without powered woofers, where one amp drives the passive woofers and the other both mids and tweeters.  If it must be Klipsch, something like KLF-30s, Cornwalls, or the like.  You will need to redo your speaker wires.
