Bi-amping or Mono Block amps
Why not both. 
Passive radiators, ext crossovers & subwoofers
Not sure if I'm understanding the question.There's low pass and high pass components of a crossover. A sub, fed independently by interconnects, would only include the low pass filter, in which case the main speakers still receive full bandwidth. A... 
Practical Power Approaches
PSThe benefits of balanced AC depend on the component plugged into it. When I had the SFL2, both myself and a friend almost simultaneously said, "Holy #$@%", within the first few seconds when fed +60/-60. It loved it. Some other components were in... 
Practical Power Approaches
http://mysite.verizon.net/vze22yzp/id10.html(links may not work properly now)This is what I did, before I found that site. Have a 5 KVA and a 2 KVA that cost about $100 each, not including shipping. They're in a closet with a subpanel. They are fe... 
Real time analyzer
Thanks KalDidn't find R&D TEF looks very competent but, being hardware based, is also expensive.Led me to Smaart v7, ($895) which is closer to what I imagined. 
Real time analyzer
Anybody know of software that works with phase/delay? Aside from DEQX and Holm. 
Experienced audiophiles best speaker
The ones in my living room are my current favorites.The second best were the ones I didn't buy or couldn't afford. 
biamping with a arc 150.2 and vtl mb125
You could try inline attenuators to balance the gain but, fair warning, those tend to have quite low Zin themselves. Then, you could have an impedance matching issue. Also, the more complicated the system gets, the more likely to get ground loops....

bi amp imrpoving?
Psag: Does the megawatt amp allow you to take more control over the system and optimize to your preference? 
bi amp imrpoving?
We're not so different. You're preaching to the choir. I'm currently biamping with dual bridged Plinius SA-100's and a 1600W bass amp with separate active low and high pass filters. Don't ask how much that totals. Before that, I passive biamped Ka... 
bi amp imrpoving?
Don't see the point of using identical amps to biamp. Ya, it makes it easy but you're not taking advantage of mixing different characters. The result may be schizo but it's entertaining. Simple enough to tame gain with an attenuator. If you want e... 
Bridging amps, Good idea or bad idea?
The 840W is rated for 800W bridged into 4 ohms and the sub will help, particularly with an active xover. When you get close to the edge, even the wrong speaker cables can push it over. Depends on the speaker load... resistive, capacitive, impedanc... 
What is wrong with negative feedback?
Ralph, this is the wrong place to ask, but would you care to answer the math as proposed by: http://www.transcendentsound.com/amplifier_output_impedance.htmJust trying to get a grasp on the "how". The other controversial article is not related to ... 
Pass X-250.5 or Plinius SA-103
Like both Pass and Plinius.The Plinius, with higher gain and input impedance, is more friendly to tube and passive "preamps". That and the swiss army knife versatility was my most deciding factors.Pass, especially the XA series, are almost overbui...
