I need quick help- Bi-amp Threshold/McIntosh

Sorry about that guys, it's an MC7200 SS amp. Thanks! Tom

The McIntosh MC7200 does have an adjustable gain setting, which when I thought it was tube with that much power, would have been great for a top bi-amp. BUT, when the guy told me it weighed 53 pounds (him thinking heavy, and me thinking light), I started to wonder how what I thought would be a pretty massive amp could weigh so little? My research led me to find it's SS, and 53 lbs still seems light to me for a 200w amp. So I guess the new question would be; would it be worth buying it as a bass amp for the 802 Matrix series III? It would cost me more than the s/300 II I have been offered, as I seem to be unable to find another s/350E anywhere. Both the Thresholds are fairly similar in output, and since the FET 10E has only one balanced out, I could just use the s/300 II from one of the unbalanced pre outs (they are both active) for the bass biamp. Actually, I think I'm answering my own question here. It does seem to make more sence to stick with Threshold, even though the price on the 7200 was very fair. Any thoughts from any of you? Thanks, Tom

Plato, thanks but would buying a larger wattage dual out (2 right, 2 left) do anything? I have often wondered why the more powerful T-400 and T-800 Threshold amps had 2 right and left channel outs. If you have two outputs from the same source, how could that benifit a bi-amp speaker? It would seem to me that you are just adding the great expense of a second set of speaker cables, granted with the added benifit of double the cable, but would it really be any different than running double cables off single outs in to a bi-wire speaker? Please fill me in, spare no details, I really want to understand the difference. Thanks much, Tom

Now I'm confused. Running 300 watts to your tweeters and another 300 watts to your woofers does not make it 600 watts does it? I'm no engineer, but even my basic knowlege suggests this is still 300 watts? Tom
