I would still recommend you try a bi-amp setup before going out and buying something, technical reasons or otherwise, if your Mirages are anything like mine they loved the bi-amp setup. As I mentioned earlier if you set it up for horizontal bi-amp you don't need two matching amps, just beg, borrow, scrounge, etc to get a couple amps and give it a try.
Monoblocks, passive bi-amped or passive tri-amped?
I have been doing lots of research, but to no avail. Some writers & speaker builders say you will get sonic benefits from passive bi or tri amping, some say you get nothing. Some say running 2 identical amps will give a 50% increase in power to the speaker…some say zero. IMO it seems logical that an amp pushing 1 driver, as opposed to many, would have an easier load, and thus more headroom, control, speed, detail, etc.
The options I’m considering:
250W D monoblocks
220W D bi-amped
140W A/B tri-amped
I can’t active amp…so need technical info on which of these would sound best, and why. Thanks!
