Biamp N802:is 55W tube enough for high/mids?

Thanks all

I am going to make the plunge. Actually this is really a transitional stage for me anyway - I will be working system towards a biamped line array system (these can easily be made ultra-sensitive). I just didn't to leave myself high and dry in the meantime.

I will be using a BAT VK-55 on the top and Parasound JC1 on the bottom.

The key is that I can actively biamp and eliminate any overlap between amps. I will be using a DEQX that can do 100db/octave+ crossovers.

While I can't say I am speaking from personal biamping experience, I believe that the tonal differences between an aluminum tweeter, kevlar midrange and paper woofer are probably greater than tonal differences in amps - even tube vs ss.

I will be able to accurately compensate for gain differences with the DEQX also - bi/tri-amping is it's whole purpose.

Wish me luck

Thanks Tube lvr,
I appreciate your input.

I have sold the N802s so the question is somewhat moot now. I have bought drivers for a pretty big line array - 18 Seas W18E001 7" mag woofers plus 16 Fountek Neopro5i ribbon tweeters. The speakers are designed based on the line array principles laid out by J Griffin in his excellent line array white paper.

The amps are 2 Parasound JC1 for the low and a Bat VK55 for the hights.

The xover, as you know, will be handled by the DEQX.

Very big project for me. I am building the cabinets. Basically have to as the drivers themselves for this speaker are about $6,000! Can't wait to hear the huge soundstage, unlimited no distortion sound. Just have a huge learning curve to get there.

Thanks again and rock on!!!
