Bryston with vandersteen.


Any opinions on bursting 2BLPx2 running in mono to power vandersteen 2CE sig II

Alternatively, one could also run the pair as stereo on each side, with the L/R sides bi amp to the speakers woofer and MR/T bi-wire posts?
How much power, or voltage do suspect that they are receiving now?Or how much SPL are they delivering?
Assuming you have two identical Bryston amps, I’d look to run a passive vertical bi-amp configuration using one 2-channel amp per speaker. One channel of each amp the woofer, the other channel for the mid/tweets.

The only expense is another set of speaker wires, and possibly a method of splitting the source signal at the amps. You’d gain the benefit of having zero left/right crosstalk between the amps, which helps with soundstage and separation (as would running them as monoblocks). Plus the mid/tweeter channel benefits from not having the burden of controlling the excursions of the woofer, which in theory lends to better clarity.

...maybe try both bridged and bi-amped to see which you prefer.


@knotscott  thats an interesting way to do it. Then play around to see wich channel left or right would be best for bass or treble. Sounds like something to do this weekend.
