Bi amping with Tube and Solid State

If you ask Linn they will stand for product against removing built-in crossover and they're partially right. On the other hand passive bi-amplification of even perfectly matched amps can drive system out of tonal balance. Volume control in your Mac might help matching but will not help to keep balance due to the complexity of a speaker load connected to two amplifiers.
Without worries you can do it with electronic crossover $500...$1000.

I suppose that "Gmorris" is pointing to my post with his 'It is incredible how people on this forum can make such sweeping, and incorrect generalizations without clarification.' statement!!!

However, it should be noted that "Gmorris" has done EXACTLY what I have written to achieve successful bi-amping namely using a good/excellent active xover!

The only doubtful thing I mentioned in my post was blending the tone of the ss & tube amps & "Gmorris" has a PARTICULAR solution that fits HIS needs. This is perfectly fine. It is also the reason that I did not recomend either 6dB/oct or 12db/oct etc slopes or xover frequencies 'cuz each system is different. What works for "Gmorris" might not work for "Kcw001".

It appears that my statements were not so "sweeping, and incorrect generalizations" after all!!

IFFFFF "Gmorris" has achieved successful (sound-wise) bi-amping WITHOUT active xovers, then I would have made "sweeping, and incorrect generalizations".

"Gmorris" can correct me if I'm wrong in saying that "Kcw001" would be wasting his time bi-amping WITHOUT an active xover.

Just my feedback. FWIW.

Thank you for all of you guys, very thankful for your inputs, I think I got a pretty good idea of what I am going to do. There is no need to argue here since we all look at thing from a different angle.

I was not referring to you.

Gmorris,

Thanks for the clarification!
Sorry for assuming incorrectly.
