I have tried bi-amping my tympani 4a's without a lot of sucess. The crossover network is critical, I like the mono blocks better. I have a pair of brystons now, so let me know what you have decided and what you have discovered.
Active Biamping of Your Dreams for Magneplanars
I have been thinking about upgrading my system a bit and searching the archives for threads on amplifiers to use with my Magneplanar Tympani IVa's.
Most of you seem to suggest that you could never have too much power for Maggies -- not to mention the greater demands of the three panel per side design.
Therefore, I am wondering how I might make a significant upgrade, without spending shocking amounts of money.
One idea is to buy another ML 23.5, use the pair for the low end, and actively crossover to a tube amp for the highs.
Good idea?
Next idea: same thing, but upgrade to a pair of 20.6 monoblocks.
Or a pair of Pass Lab monoblocks?
Aragon Palladiums?
Would like to spend < $10,000 and retain the reliability and slam of solid state in the low end please.
