moray james Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) yes. I use two fully re designed and rebuilt Quad 405 stereo blocks one vertical per speaker. You can obtain fine results with a pair of matching 50 watt per channel stereo blocks. You can pick up amps like the Hafler DH120 for cheap and they respond very well to upgrade work later if you want to optimize your bang for the buck. You did not say what you are running now. When bi amping your watts go a lot farther. The only way that you are going to answer your question to your satisfaction is for you to borrow or buy a used set of amp and listen. Do it and find out. Music shops will rent you amplifiers for a few days for very little so that is an option. Good luck and best regards Moray James. PS: welcome aboard.

Dennie Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wasn't the question about bi-wiring? Dennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there, done that, won't bother doing it again. If your speaker wire is sufficient in size, there's no benefit to bi-wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest " " Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I never owned the HIII's, do they have bi-wire connectors with the jumpers? If they do (as khorns and Lascala's and Belles upgraded to AB-3's), and if you have an amp (SS ot tube) that has output transformers....you can bi-wire and use the different taps on the output transformer to tweak the outputs of the HF vs the LF. LF on 8 ohm, HF on 16 ohm would give you a +3db HF section, LF on 16 ohm and HF on 8 ohm would give you a + 3db LF section. etc, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I never owned the HIII's, do they have bi-wire connectors with the jumpers? Yes. They look similar to a Reference type hook up with HF and LF terminals with straps in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Wasn't the question about bi-wiring? Dennie Dennie second time trying to respond. You are right my bad but in my defense I do use two pair of speaker cables. Experimenting with bi wire does not have to be expensive so he can find out to his own satisfaction. Something else that is interesting to play with is to connect the two loudspeakers negative terminals to each other. This can be done at the loudspeakers and it can be done directly at the amplifier both points sound a little different. some zip cord and the op can know for himself what it will sound like. There is no substitute for personal experience. Best regards Moray James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Sound like connecting speakers in parallel? Not a lot of benefit to bi-wiring but, it's cheap to try and has no real down side. Edited February 18, 2014 by derrickdj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
