B&W Matrix speakers owners preferably
I have a pair of B&W Matrix 800s. Powered by a Krell FPB 600 amp and a ARC Ref 6 preamp. I have them quad wired. I am extremely happy with the sound, but now I’m getting a big itch to bi amp them or quad amp them. I’m ready to pull the plug on an ARC ref 750 and I would like to use these for my tweeter and midrange and my Krell for my bass on my 800s. Can I do this for these speakers. ?? And what do u think on the sound ? BTW I only listen to CDs and I have a Rega ISIS. I also use a Krell B&W BAF. Bass alignment filters. . (2) balanced. Thanks. Mike.
Mike i have a friend who had his matrix 800 bi amped with Mark Levinson 336 amps .They sounded pretty good played very very loud with no problem. I think having the amps with the same out put or close to, makes a big difference. So the volume control will be equal.(so one amp does not drown out the other). I do own a pair also very fun speaker. good luck |
I see what you are trying to do. The control of the krell for the lows and the purity of the 750's for Mids and Highs, I do the same on my Schweikert vr-8. The Main thing is make sure you have a way of adjusting sensitivity of the input drive to the amps. I tried this with a tube amp and Mark Levinson for the lows, Never could get the sensitivities correct. That ARC will sound better the the krell

@68pete Ive decided to just use the ARC REF 750s. I just bought and I’m selling the Krell FPB 600. Listed it on here a few days ago. |
