biamplification wiring how-to


i have a mccormack tlc1 and 2 forte model 5's and would like to biamp a set of speakers for a 2 ch setup. i have yet to aquire the speakers but i will make sure they have the ability to seperate the high and low freq via seperate binding posts. the speakers i'm sure will have its own passive crossover built in. what to do? any advice will be appreciated.

George's response is well-considered. I would opt for the former, where each amp handles just the left or right channel [i.e. left ch on the tweeters and right ch on the woofers]. The advantage is that the power supply of each amp is only driving one bass channel, not two. I used this method very successfully a long time ago with a pair of NAD amps and some NEAR 50 spkrs if anybody remembers those.

Let us know what spkrs you get. Good luck.
