I had tubes and didn't have much bass then I had solid-state and didn't get the warm mids. I bi-amped them and got agood sound but something was still not quite there. I went to Cary SLM200s got a great sound but the bass was still a little thin even with this high power. My troubles are now over after buying the Wolcott Presence monoblocks. They have 250 watts with a high damping so you get bass like a Krell and superb mids and highs from the tubes. I think this is what your listening for. Take a shortcut and audition the Wolcott Presence amp.
Bi-amping solid state & tubes?
I just got a pair of BAT VK60s to drive ProAc 3.8s, but I miss some of the bass from my old amp (KSA200s). I was thinking of bi-amping the Krell on the bottom and the BATs on the mid/highs, but have been told it would cause more problems than it would solve. How do I do it (any special modifications or hookups) and what are the pros & cons? Is it too much juice - it would be 320 watts/side and the speakers are rated for 50 to 250?
