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?

you have no control over each amplifiers spread of signal to different drivers.

You will have control of the crossover signal to each driver, if you actively bi amp the B&w 802 d3, see below:

Active is the only way to go. And don’t forget to bypass the internal speaker crossovers!

How does one go about bypassing the crossover's? Is this a DIY exercise which I guess requires you to go inside the speakers and remove the filters and have the drivers directly wired to binding posts.   
 

Yes, you will need to access the drivers and binding posts and disconnect the internal crossovers from the binding posts. Or simply add another set of binding posts.
