Thank you, Lalit. Glad I was helpful.
Soma70, I see in your system description thread that you already have the DEQX HDP-4 in your system, and that your present monoblock amplifiers are Xindak XA8800MNEs, described as "200w (8ohm) / (400w/ 4ohm), Class A to 60w then A/B," the nominal impedance of the speaker being 4 ohms.
I’m not familiar with the differences between your WP6 and the WP7 for which Stereophile has provided
measurements, but I note that the low frequency crossover point of the WP7 is specified as 125 Hz, and per the measurements its mid/tweeter section appears to significantly contribute to the overall response down to the vicinity of 60 Hz or so. And I see in the
Soundstage review of the WP6 that its crossover is described as first order, which adds to my suspicion that the frequency range handled by its mid/tweeter section extends well into the deep bass region.
As you no doubt realize the capabilities of a DEQX can do a good job of minimizing or eliminating a number of issues that can otherwise arise when biamping. But given the foregoing the mid/tweeter section of the speaker and the amplifier powering it would still have to handle a considerable majority of the musical energy that is required most of the time, so I’m not sure that the biamping arrangement you are considering would accomplish very much, considering also the very substantial 4 ohm power capability of your existing amps. While at the same time it might introduce possible new issues, to the extent that the two amps have differing intrinsic sonic characters, as Lalit alluded to.
BTW, as you may have seen in the
"Is DEQX a Game-Changer" thread, I am a happy owner of an HDP-5, using it in conjunction with a single amp and a single pair of speakers running full-range.
In any event, good luck however you decide to proceed. Regards,
