Anyone Bi-amping with tube high & solid state lows


Is anyone using a tube amp for the mids/highs and a solid state for the lows? If so, which combo are you using and are there any flaws with the sound?

I'd really appreciate any feedback as I'm considering this option.

I biamp with Sonogy amps for 220hz on down and Lamm ML1s above that, but I have an active crossover and a 4-piece system. There are always some potential sonic continuity problems, particularly with a crossover point that high, which are minimized by this combination, but I agree with Eldartford that the sonic characteristics of the amps, while potentially noticable, are not as big a problem as you might think. If you don't have an outboard active crossover you may run into amplifier input sensitivity and gain problems, though (for example, when I replaced my Jadis amps with the Lamms, I had to reduce the bass level on the crossovers significantly because the Jadis had a higher sensitivity, and thus subjectively played louder with less input, than the Lamms).
Wavac md300b tube amp on the horns ,threshold t100se on my bass towers ,works great tried tubes they sounded nice but where a bit weak in the low bass .JK
Meech33, why not try it and tell us what you come up with on your end?! I would like to know your results. YOu could easily pick up even a modesly, yet excellent sonic tube amp and solid state combo for great sound. But, I would like to know your results. Let us know if you do.
I will do that. I'm planning keeping my 205 wpc Parasound HCA-1500a for the bass. The amp I'm looking at is a single-ended-triode from WWW.Space-tech-lab.com

The amp has only 2wpc but the speakers they'll be powering are pretty efficient. (Coincident Triumph Signatures 94db)

I will definately let you guys know how it turns out.

Thanks for the info.

Gain problems for u,94db ,2 watts and 200+ on the woofers you are going to have gain problems ,94 db would be better to run a 300b or so[8+ watts] 2 watts will not work for you unless its only back ground music in a small room ,94db works out to only 97db 1 watt 1 meter so only low 90s available at the listening position .If you buy the 2 watt you will be selling it on the gon soon .Happy listening JK. PS 3.5 watts wasent enofe on my 103 db horns
