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!

Thanks! So I guess that’s exactly what I was describing - vertical versus horizontal bi-amping. I will try with the vertical as suggested and go from there, thank you!

Thanks, in what way do you mean I am going in the wrong direction? I agree, with these particular speakers I have plenty of power driving them with my current solo Mc2125 but I no have my dads Mc2120 and I don’t intend to sell it so I may as well use it. Are you saying this would deteriorate my current sound?
