bi-amp with a tube amp and SS

Is there any body who experieced biamping with a tube amp for low frq. and SS for high freq.

I think same power (watt) is not a must, is that true?

If not possible, you could buy a pair of in-line attenuators to adjust the signal so that you get equal volume from both amps. John

You have to be able to modify the gain on one of the amps so you can match their output levels. Power output doesn't factor in - only the input sensitivity does (gain will be fixed once set). If you can find two amps with the same sensitivity, you are in luck since you then won't need gain control. You also would need a preamp with two sets of outputs. Arthur

They can be custom made with one RCA male on the upstream end, 2 on the downstream end, as long as you need, by most cable-makers.
