No, they can be bi-amped but not tri-amped.
Can the MBL 101e be triamped?
Simple question, but of course there is more to it than that. I'm thinking that they can be bi-amped but I'm not sure if they can be tri-amped.
What I have in mind is the Verastarr SSA64. It's a 6 channel amp with all kinds of juice like the MBL's need, and can be actually be configured to run all 6 channels into one speaker (bridged) if the speaker can be tri-amped. Thus, I could buy 2 of them for $5k each and they would essentially work as monoblocks and for a lot cheaper than the MBL 9008 (or even 9007) monoblocks.
I'm not sure where this would take me in terms of sound quality but what little I can find about the SSA64 all seems rather positive.
See http://www.verastarr.com/ssa64.html There has also been some discussion about the SSA64 here at Audiogon, but not much.
