Am looking for a wow moment in listening where I say “That’s next level! I have to build it!”
Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?
That is my query. I have an audiophile friend in Australia who swears by this approach, and I am wondering just how many levels up one can go in SQ as well as full extension tone in doing this. I am a very happy balanced analog EQer for tone but want to experience everything.
Thanks! Sorry I don’t have my system posted still but I’ll put it in the next box here.

@knotscott +1 @tlcocks How would you know if the "wow moment" is due to tri amping and not due to all and every component, and the room. Chances that there is a mirror image of your system somewhere are pretty much nonexistant. |
Of course you are right. And I wouldn’t really know. But I still want to hear a properly tuned tri amped system to see how it compares to analog balanced equalized sound. Which is all I listen to and is still preferable to me to just about every other system I’ve heard. But my listening experience is primarily show room set ups, even very pricey ones like d’Agostino monos driving Wilsons. I’ll bet I can hear better constructed systems in the homes and listening rooms of you thoughtful serious hobbyists. Ones with personalized attention to cable looms, mods etc. if such an individual had a well put together triamped system I’d simply love to hear it. |
On paper, bi-amping or tri-amping can give you more control and potentially better dynamics on some ultra-high end speakers but in practice the payoff is often marginal compared to the cost, complexity, and space it demands. A well-designed single amp driving a well-matched pair of speakers is usually simpler, more musical, and easier to live with. And don’t overlook, the heat generated by more amps in the system, after all you live in Florida :-) And yes, I have tri-amped and bi-amped setups in the past. Won’t do it anymore since switching to an Integrated with class A watts. |
