Ideas for amp to run woofers on a bi-amp system.


I own a pair of speakers that dip a bit in terms of impedance and I want experiment with using a solid state amp to run my  woofers in a bi-amp configuration. We do not carry a solid state electronics line currently. Speakers have 3 pairs of posts. I will be using the Zesto Bia amp to run the midrange and tweeters and need suggestions on a good amp/amps to run my woofers. Perhaps Class D? Any ideas on older high current amps that can be had used? Thank in advance!

Well we dont carry solid state amps only tube and this is just meant as a temporary fix until we expand out product line. As a result I would like to keep the cost at below 3 to 4K.

My speakers are Ascendo Model Ms which are tri-ampable. Im just using jumpers currently and the sound is very good, but I can just tell that more power is in order if I continue with the current configuration. 

The speakers are listed as 6 ohm nominal, but in numerous contacts with Ascendo they havent responded to my questions regarding the impedance curve. I would guess that they go down to roughly 4 ohms and this, in my mind, is a bit low for most tube amps. Definitely too low for OTLs which are among my favorite amps on the market.

To be honest when reviewing new products, I find the feedback from users more useable initially than that from manufacturers or distributors.
