BI AMPING - TUBE + SS -



Best of Both Worlds, or Man, what was I thinking?

I want to run a tube on the mid & tweeter, & use a ss on the mid bass and woofer. got a 250w krell, need the tube amp. will be using an 8 ohm load.

Any experience here, in matching amplifier (s) output voltages would be greatly appreciated.

As well as, with biamping different amps? (overcoming differing voltages in unlike amps)

Definitely need to get some insights here.

What is your experience, “Do” & “Do Not “.

Thanks

Super response!

you folks win. i give up. I'll do the tube preamp, with a solid state amp, thing.

if that does not get it, i'll go all tube.

NOT SURE YET IT'LL BE A WHILE BEFORE I FIND OUT OR GET THE SCRATCH FOR MY ITCH.
Thanks,

Your really close with your figures. Found out about a new dealership in my area dedicated to analog. Lots of tube amps. talked to them Monday. yep. Needd a cross voer thihnbgy. 500.00, Talked about Cary, 3K or so, there. Yep, Wouldn't be hard to go in to the 4 - 5K neighborhood with all that. Advantage? Don't ahve to lay it all out at once. If I could afford to, "lay it all at once", I'd definitely go with better solid amp, and tube pre. Well, there's always the lottery. . . . .

Wires, don';t get me started. Anything over 20 or 30 bucks is to dogone much for wire. More than I would like to spend theree as well. I understand good Oxy free copper, . . but past that. . . just can't retionalize the money some folks want for wire. Amazing!

In spite of what I just said......yeah, I'll probably give in there too.

But to who? Bunch of them out there.

About the Krell, just hate to part with it. Probably won't. Can use it in the bedroom, with different speakers. Something with a soft top end, like Phase tech, got a pair of them, ......there's a thought.

Yeah, it comes down to money, nearly every time. For me, anyway. . . and usually waiting a good while to boot.

Thanks
