Bi Amp JM Lab 936's

>>Bi-wire. If done properly it is more beneficial than bi-amping.<<

That is completely untrue and demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of bi-amping and bi-wiring.

It depends on the speaker.

Check with the manufacturer and/or retailer for a recommendation.

>>Do NOT use jumpers and do NOT use bananas<<

This is also an erroneous statement. In many cases bananas are preferred as the termination of choice.

There is some very bad information contained in this thread.

Undoubtedly a result of inexperience. Ignore it.

Hello i owned the same model 936...remember this speaker is efficient.I paired this with 2 mc-225 (tube) at mono ( 50 watts )and result are excellent..sometimes driven by a single mc-2100 (s/s)..same ..very musical.
I do bi-amping by using a single mc-225 on stereo to drive the hf/mf and mc-2100 (s/s) to drive the lower part and the result very musical and detailed of course paired with Cary SLP-98 tube pre-amp.
Buck44,single amp will do the job and can drive your 936 at no ease.
Recommendation:
Single amp.......5 *****
bi-amp...........5 *****+ headroom & dynamic range.
Enjoy your music.

These pages are open for anyone to offer any advice, both good and bad - both in the quest of friendship, and also to be mean spirited. I stand by my statement as I posted above. I also encourage you to drop by the Vandersteen website as I said above for a more complete explanation. Richard Vandersteen himself gave me this advice and I find it to be true.
