Sean is right - gain is one problem. Another is time and phase errors introduced by mixing and matching amps. Unless you use exactly the same amp (and I do mean the same model - not just the same manufacturer because some manufacturers are not consistent from model to model) you will introduce time and phase anomalies which will totally destroy the coherency of your speakers.
Two different amps to horizontal bi amp?
I have Hales Designer Reference One speakers. They have three sets of post for speaker wire. I presently have one amp (Wingate 2000)class a amp. I have added a Sunfire signiture subwoofer to extend the lower registers but do not like the overall blending of the two. Here is my question / statement. I have an opportunity to purchase a Threshold S500 class a/b amp. I would use this to drive the woofers and use the Wingate to run the tweeter and mids. I feel the Threshold would elevate the bass performance and allow me to eliminate the sub woofer. Would this work? What kind of potential problems would or could I have?
Thanks
