Bi amping with Tube and Solid State


I have a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40(High) and Mcintosh MC-2155(Low), wanting to get biamp for my Linn Keilidh. Will I get into tonal unbalance since one is tube and the other is solid state. Any Suggestions?

Possibly but you may encounter the unbalance if they do not have the same gain. One will outdo the other and throw the sound off. You may need a crossover which will allow adjustments to gain in each amp and some to different frequency adjustments. Bryston makes great crossovers for this very thing.
Don't do it, it's very hard to integrate tubes and SS via bi-amp. Go one way or the other.

You must match the output levels for the amps first otherwise the top or bottom will not sound balanced. Second is to get an active cross-over to be able to adjust the sound. I posted about this a few weeks back but have decided to stick with one amp for now. Too complicated with cables, power cords, room for all this stuff for the amount of time I am listening to music recently. If you can put in the time and expense, this is the way to go.
Fortunately, I have gain control on my McIntosh. According to Jeff, you said go one way or the other, do you mean all tubes or all ss??
Try it - I biamp my Legacy 20/20 Focus with tubes on top and SS on the bottom. Sounds good. If you do not like it than undo.
