Does anyone own a tri amped system in Florida I could hear?

@tlcocks Wrote:

 Do the hi fi shows, the expos, ever have a active crossover bi or tri amp system in any of the showrooms?

See here and here

I have a biamp set up.  Not sure why you’d want to go full scale tri amp. Absolutely too many wires and interconnects to deal with and then the crossover machinery is very difficult to figure out which one to buy and there aren’t too many examples out there people doing this that I could find.

Further if you’re going to do tri or biamping, I would think you’d want to get a tube amplifier involved to deal with the upper drivers because that’s better for the harmonics and the solid state amplifier could handle the bass drivers. And this is the best of all possible worlds.

Unless you have and infinite budget. Each additional piece of equipment reduces the overall investment level of each amp, interconnect, and power cord. Also, introduces possible differences in character of the sound in the system... so, could influence coherence, 

The way I think about it if I had the choice between buying 3 $2K amps and on $6K amp... the choice is simple the sound quality of a $6K or $12K or more amp is going to be much better (assuming you choose wisely). 

If the choice is between one $6K amp or 3 $6K amps... but then a single $18K amp will sound better... .this is why I just can't logically get there. 

Listening to one... now that is a great idea. 

Thanks. That’s my goal!

My Buddy in Australia is particular about his treble. As I am also. That’s why he tri amped. I do understand there are great complexities with amp choices, crossover choices and cable choices. If I do get to hear a system, I have to hope it’s set up well. That Klipsch video was nice!  Sounded superb even via YouTube. Even iPhone speaker,lol!
