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!

Go vertical.

I have a biamp set up and I use solid state for the bass drivers and tube amplifiers for the upper drivers.  I use MC 901 McIntosh monos to achieve this. It’s working out really well for 802 d3 Bowers speakers.  It’s definitely a lot of power.  Maybe I could achieve the same result with 300 W mono tube amplifiers and be just as happy without the biamp.  But I’m very happy with what I’ve got.

You’re got very sensitive speakers and I suspect Will have no problem using tubes for the bass drivers.
