Is it alright to bi-amp with 2 different B&K amps?


I currently own some Paradigm Studio 60v.2 speakers and a B&K ST-140 (105wpc) amp and still want something to drive the speakers better. I was considering the B&K 202+ which is 200wpc for the woofers and then the ST-140 for the tweeters. How do you think this will work? or should I try to get an identical amp for bi-amping?

If they are from the same series / era of production, you won't have any problems. They are near identical designs with one just having higher rail voltages and more current with the associated increase in output devices necessary to pass the higher amount of power. Just bare in mind that B&K has had gobs of production changes in the last twenty years and the amps could have completely different output devices in them with the associated changes in support circuitry. If in doubt, contact Jerry at B&K in their tech support department. Great guy and very down to Earth. If need be, you can even send your amps in and B&K will set them up for identical operation ( short of power output ). Sean
