ClaudeJ1 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 In my case.... the mids need dropping about 3-5db, so an eq is essential......Passive bi-amping takes care of that problem for me. I've been doing it with Klipsch speakers for the last 4 years or so. A sweet low powered tube amp on top and a heavy duty solid state amp on the woofers works like a dream. I ditched the eq a long time ago since trying this. As long as both amps have gain controls you can blend them perfectly. It's not "active" bi-amping but it works.....takes away that "forward" midrange making it sound rich and sweet. I had the pleasure of meeting Saul Marantz at a Hi Fi show in the late 70's when I was still a kid. He told me "Tubes on top, Solid State on the Bottom" This from the legend who designed some of the best tube amps in history. We agree with you.
