Biamping question...


I am considering biamping my Paradigm Studio speakers. I have 2 rooms, one with Studio 60 v.2 and one with Studio 40 v.3. I want to try biamping in one of the rooms (not sure which just yet). I want to get a B&K ST-3140 (140w*3) amp to drive the woofers on each main speaker and then use the 3rd channel to drive my center speaker. I then want to get a B&K ST-140 (70w*2) to drive the tweeters on my main speakers. Will these two amps by B&K sound similar? Will this set up work better for the ST40v.3 or ST60v.2? Will these amps take some of the brightness off of the tweeters? Anybody like B&K amps with Paradigm?

Fishcall,

If you have the Studio CC as your center you can biamp it as well. You could use one ST-3140 for left and let's say woofer on center and the other for right and tweeter on center. So you would need two ST-3140's.

I have the Paradigm Studio 100.2 and wouldn't mind a little more brightness in my system. Not exactly sure what in the path is rolling off the highs but suspect a combo of cable and MF CD player. A good single amp will power the 60's quite nicely if the quality is there. A lot cheaper too. Consider a premium 3 channel amp vs. two lesser quality amps and I'm certain you will be delighted. Also consider the cables you will be using. Can make quite a difference.
