What manner will the two amps be used? Are they 2 stereo amps to be used in a biamp arrangement? Or 2 monoblock amps one for each channel? My experience with active biamping is that such a small difference (~0.5dB) is negligible, especially if the crossover point is not in the midrange, or if the electronic crossover unit has level adjustments. For 2 monoblocks, even a small difference in gain might be noticeable (in good systems) as a slight L or R emphasis, which could be corrected by a balance control on the preamp.
Voltage Gain
I'm considering using two different amps in my system. One concern pointed out in the Linn website is the difference in voltage gain between amps. How much of a difference is too much difference? I'm considering using a Linn amp with a gain of 28.6 dB with an amp with a gain of 29dB. Is this material?
Thanks.
