Willi, I would also point out my experience with my MF amps is the monoblock set-up produces a better 3D soundstage, deeper, wider etc. I also like the fact that it eliminates one pair of interconnects from the sound path, compared to two stereo amps used for bi-amping, monoblocks are more direct signal path........I have also run high freq drivers with one stereo amp and low freq with two monoblocks, but that is getting beyond this subject....regards Sam
Bi-amping versus Mono-blocks
Wondering if there are varying positive reasons for bi-amping versus mono-blocks. I know that bi-amping is usually hooked up horizontally (one amp for lows and one amp for lows) and that mono-blocks are one amp per each speaker. I also know that if you want to mix amps with a SS amp on the low end and Tube on the high end, you bi-amp. My question is ............ which method is best for an amp being able to drive the speakers (least pull on the amp)? Is it easier/better for an amp to handle the complete frequency range of only one speaker .... or better for an amp to cover only a portion (low frequencies or high frequencies) of the frequencies of two speakers? Does each have it's place because of certain reasons/circumstances? Thanks for any input.
