4 amplifiers to drive 1 pair of speakers?


Hi

Sorry I am still quite a young audiophile (less than 1 yr old)
Was wondering if its possible to use 4 amplifiers (eg 300b which is quite low powered) to drive a pair of speakers? 

I.e. pre amp output --> Y splitter into 2 different 300B amplifiers for each channel. Each amplifier can take either the top 2 or bottom 2 binding posts of the speaker.

My speakers are 90db 8ohm (more like 4ohm in real life), and im afraid that 2 300b PP amplifiers ~18W class A is insufficient.

Thanks!

I would not want to do this to drive a pair of speakers if you need more power from the 300b amplifier there were some amp makers that made push pull 300b amps that were quite good.
@atmasphere thanks for your advice! :)) ok sure will go and look for the dynaco manual! :))

Always thankful for pros like you giving advice! :)) 🙏🙏

@hshifi thanks! Im actually using primaluma...just tt i prefer the sound of big tubes eg 300b, 211 , 845. Im thinking of different solutions I can use to circumvent the power problem

@boomerbillone wow thanks for sharing! Haha 8 channels must sound really powerful! Hahaha if I have a chance would be great to listen to your system! Haha I have seen videos on Thomas & Stereo where he shows off someones system using 3 mcintosh amplifiers 1 high 1 mid 1 low. Looks really magnificent hahaha
Will your set up work without a electronic crossover?

@douglas_schroeder  thanks for your input! :) haha wow you sound very experienced! Oic! Always was wondering why I dont see multiple amplifiers rather than 1 stereo / pair of monoblocks used! I guess that must be the reason! 

Ok sure, looking forward to your article! Haha so what amplifiers are you using currently? Your speakers are the legacy audio speakers?
thegreenman, you only see what I want you to see...  ;) 
(Quite mysterious, eh?) 

There are certain ways using multiple channels may (for the community's sake, notice the word "may") sound better than a stereo amp or monos. 
Do not be overly impressed by rigs with many amps; it is not a sure indication of superior sound quality. In several respects, a more streamlined rig is preferred. It is far easier to screw up the result when multiplying functions, and it is far harder to dial in a rig to perceived perfection as well. 

If you would like to see the list of amps I have reviewed, check my reviewer profile at Dagogo.com under the "Staff" tap at the top. 

I just sent back some mono amps, so at the moment I have the Kinki Studio EX-M1+ Integrated Amp, the Redgum Audio Articulata Integrated Amp,  and the Legacy i.V4 Ultra Amplifiers here. I have another top secret on coming soon. Sorry, I do not typically reveal the identity of review items far in advance of the article. I can tell you this; it will be a stereo amp and about 100Wpc. I suspect it would sound very good with the Legacy Whisper DSW Clarity Edition speakers you mention. 

To give you some idea of how vastly amplification can range in terms of performance, the Redgum integrated amp has bested several other SS stereo and mono amps. It has terrific ability to push less efficient speakers such as electrostatic speakers. Amazing rigs can be built with monos, stereo, integrated, and multi-channels. 

There is often something lost in the effort to push toward the lower power, higher efficiency end of the spectrum. When you have heard both ends many times, you understand that. A person has to make a choice between the set of attributes most desired, and you usually cannot have both.
