I said it was a ridiculous proposition in the context that the OP would be better served buying a decent front end and some high quality speaker jumpers, they really make a difference.
Got it.
Bi amping with two different pairs of monoblocks
I'm wanting to bi-amp my Canton 1K speakers with my Triode TRX M845 monos doing the LF and borrowed Vacuum State 300B monos doing the highs.
The speakers each have 4 binding posts with links between them which I'll remove which will separate the H & L frequencies
My source is an Oppo 203. I'm thinking of using rca Y splitters like these AudioQuest - Hard Y-Adapter RCA Splitter (1x Male to 2x Female) - Music Direct
Will this layout work for me or does it need tweaking?

Active crossovers have been mentioned, and can have several benefits if the circumstances are right. In most cases it requires bypassing the stock passive crossovers, which is a fairly big change to a set of speakers....certainly doable for many, but if the crossovers employ corrections, baffle steps, impedance compensations, zobel networks, etc.,the plot thickens. Just swapping in a simple active crossover may have a very different effect than the passive crossover. More advanced active crossovers could probably accommodate all of those, but it’s wise to not assume it’s a straight forward swap. Plus some passive crossovers are excellent and are really fine tuned. Food for thought if anyone is contemplating similar. |
(Knotscott) My suggestion eases the BASS Burden of the high pass amplifier relying on the speakers existing crossover to fill the Original Designers aural goals. Most definitely if going full active crossover, I would go DSP crossover to allow all manners of parameters to adjust |
