Two 210 x 2 amps or One 500 x 2 amp.....

Responding to Unsound, I would think you would want the amplifier after the cross over, that way you each amplifer is responsible for only a range of frequencies instead of them all?

I would think biamping is better because it allows isolation of power supplies, transformers, and all that good stuff. Especially is you are running one amp to each speaker. Just my thoughts...

Dan, I own the Aerial 8's and run them with two Classe CA-150's in mono and have found the improvement to be substantial over using one amp. The soundstage and the control of the bass warrants exploration of two amps. Of course, the cables are very important and the folks at Fatwyre are very helpful in that area. I use MIT's and Synergistic and am very happy. Steve

S7horton, Of course you are absolutey correct. My apologies
to all concerned. That is exactly what I meant post.

Thanks to all responding. I spoke with Mike Kelly at Aerial today, and he felt that a single 2 channel amp, the 500 x 2 version would be better suited at loud volumes because there is just so much more power to go to the subs when it needs the pull.

Makes sense to me....

Your thoughts?

It's entirely possible and the manufacturer should know. On the other hand I would never give up my vertical biamp setup! :-)
