Basically the tube amp running the mid/tweeters will be outputing a current that differs from the current supplied by the transistor amp suppling the woofers. In this fashion, the woofer and mid/tweeter levels will not match. If your transistor amp has an output gain control (like a Hafler for example) you would be able to adjust this; assuming of course that the solid state amp is the more powerful of the two.
need help withTube and solid state together
Hello, I'm looking to do an upgrade on the gear, surely someone has figured out a gain match if you want to run a tube amp for hi/mid and an SS for Low end without getting into an active crossover. Also is there any other issues besides the gain for matching amps. My pre is a cary slp03 running my Snell type aIII. Thanks for any help as I don't have a great understanding on this subject.
