Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275?


Instead of buying one of the new combo Mcintosh solid-state tube amplifiers (mc451 or 901), how practical would it be to get 2 mc275s (each set to mono) to biamp speakers along with the mc611 solid state mono?

It can be done but you need to preamps/volume controls.

the first preamp needs two outputs. One would go to the less powerful amp and then one would go to the second preamp/volume control then out to the more powerful amp. This way you could adjust the balance with the second preamp then use the first one as a master. 
 

For what it is worth my local shop was playing around and use a MC275 and MC7200 to byamp a pair or 805D3s. I did not listen in extreme detail but it sounded nice on the surface.
