Which Mc better Mid/High performance in BiAmp set up?

If you cant try everything first, I wouldn't even consider doing it. Biamping like that, using different amps never sounds right. Every once in a while you may get lucky, but that's not the norm. If you're trying to deal with the tweeters on your 801's, there's more effective ways to do it.

I have the McIntosh C29 Pre amp..which we bought new back then.
The Amps may not be compatable using the Mc7270 Solid state together with a recent Mc275 in biAmp set up..and you suggest a solid state to match instead ?
Boy..I thought getting the tube spirit directed at the tweeters & mid a good thing.

Thanks : )

I should not bother the Tube idea for Mids/Highs right..?
I always fancied the look of that Tube thing (Mc275)..and thought if its the same effect as it is in my guitar amps maybe more musical in those intricacies but if it makes no audio sense to do it.What do you suggest as alternative,maybe in a McIntosh amplifier?
Cheers

The C29 is rated to be able to drive a 10K load, so impedance matching would not be an issue if you chose one of the solid state McIntosh models having a 22K input impedance. Driving 22K and 20K in parallel corresponds to a load impedance that would be seen by the preamp of about 10.5K.

Personally, though, I agree with ZD. Rather than biamp, it would probably be better to just replace your present amp with one powerful recent generation solid state amp.

Good luck. Regards,

When I bought this pair of 801 Nautilus in October (used) I saw they needed a special little wire to hook up the terminals which i didn't have..looking into more reviews and more deeply it seems the speakers (from what i read), were designed to be BiAmped..The guy I bought speakers from had a couple of Tube Amps on the Floor & I think another Amp in his rack.So I figured that must be so.
So till this day speakers sit there wrapped up and unconnected as it has taken me this long to decide and bring myself to sell my unused new in box MA6500 Integrated Amp to buy the other amp required for biAmping.I never even knew what BiAmping meant and still barely do. I thought the alternative was just getting another Amp & run em in Mono..but I dont really need any more power. The 801F's i've have had since 1987 and about to replace,were much more inefficient but way loud enough with the 270 Watts per Channel.
Hopefully the new 801N is actually an upgrade to the 801F cause they sound pretty much like the most natural accurate speaker Id ever heard.
