B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers


Hellau!

I own B&W Nautilus 801 speakers and intend to buy a separate digital bass amp (for example new Rotel 1092). In this configuration I use a ML 23.5 for hights/mids.

Has anyone experience with this setup? Any products you can recommend?

Thanks!!

A few weeks ago I borrowed a Adcom GFA 555 and a Hafler TA 1600 power amps from a friend. I bi-wired them to my 801's, Hafler on top and the Adcom for bass. The Hafler has adjustable outputs, so finite adjustments can be made for interesting results. The room is a whole lot cooler and it's a lot of fun tweaking. I bought a used Adcom 555 here and bridged both into mono mode. The bass is even better.

The adjustable outputs on the Hafler is a really cool feature and may be something to think about when putting a bi-amp set-up together.

Good luck
