There may be 4 PCBs but the 800 is essentially a 3 way with multiple driver arrays. The 802 is also a 3 way but with 2 LF drivers.
Bi Amping my B&W Matrix 800s
I have been thinking about bi amping my B&W 800 Matrix . I am now using a Krell FPB 600 with a Mark Levinson 38s preamp and a Krell B&W 800 Series bass Alignment Filter. With the B&W Matrix 800 speakers being quad wired. I have been considering buying a Krell FPB 300 to bi amp with my Krell FPB 600 using the Krell FPB 600 for the 4 woofers (2 on ea. speaker) on my 2 B&W 800 Matrix and the Krell FPB for the tweeters and midrange on ea. B&W 800 Matrix . Can this be done with my Mark Levinson 38s preamp? Would bi amping really do justice for my B&W Matrix 800s? And how difficult would it be ? Thank you all .Mike

tattooedtrackman There are 6 active crossovers on a pair of B&W 800s ...Are you sure? I'm fairly certain the 800s use passive xovers. |
Im really also concerned if i can use my Mark Levinson 30s preamp to bi amp . I have a R and L balanced main out XLR that is hooked up to my Krell B&W 800 bass alignment filters 2 , balanced. And my R and L balanced input 1 is going to my cd player. Which leaves only the R and L balanced input 2 . But i still have R and L main out RCA still open. Any suggestions as if i bi amp with my ML.? |
