aab3rd Posted December 31, 2001 Author Share Posted December 31, 2001 Thanks for the reply. I already have the KLFs biwired and after testing the CFs vs. the KLFs I tested without biwire and with. To be honest I did not hear much if any difference when biwired. BTW I use Monster 12 ga on bottom and AQ 4 strand (forgot model number) on top. Luckely the MM9000 has adjustable input level control for each chanel so I could adjust that way and then adjust the overall level with my preamp. Also, if not the Wave 8s, then what might be a good, inexpensive amp and what kind of power rating should I look for in this instance. I.e. I would suspect that a 2a3 would probably be to small in conjunction with a 150 watt SS. Then again mabe not.

mike stehr Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 Is their much of a market for Tube active crossovers? Using tube actives, one can ditch the passives inside the speaker. Of course you would need at least two 2 channel valve amps, with the active tube two way. Then use a active using solid state,(slop amp active) For the SS amp woofer duties. Or do it with 3 way tube active x-over, and use a mega powered valve amp for the woofers. I geuss a guy could tailor each tube amp, to run their respected drivers without actives, but still would require some passives. I Don't Know! Time to celebrate! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

aab3rd Posted January 1, 2002 Author Share Posted January 1, 2002 Without just rewiring my front L & R speakers, what are the opinions of biamping with the same amp. What I am talking about is using my Marantz MM9000 5 channel amp to biamp my front L & R and one chanel for the center. I would then buy a three ch amp for rears and use my Marantz MA6100 for a SVS sub. BTW the MA6100 is used for rear center now. Will this possibly provide a better(less bright) sound yet still retain the detail of the KLF-20s. I thought this might be easer to set up as far as lows and highs levels for these speakers.
