Wow the active system sure looks complex. I wonder why TWO bass amps.. and 4 amps per speaker.
A pair would be fine.
Mac 275s aren't at their best when stacked like that. Series or Paralleled, the SQ suffers.
I'd use one Mac 275 get a couple of good NOS Telefunken signal valves and a pair of good SS bass amps.
Honestly for 1000.00 USD I could tear the pants off the set up you currently have. No SET involved. Those 275 sound a LOT better unbridged. You could use one for the mids and one for the highs or one for both.
THEN serious high watt cool running class d amps for the bass. Me I'm not into looks when it comes to BASS amps.. I'm looking for reliability, sound quality, big clean power supplies and enough dampening.. period!! I like circuit breakers in my bass amps too..
I use 12k Behringers on everything now.. 1000hz down nothing better..
and good to 1 ohm. ONE would bounce those JBLs all over in the BASS section, TWO one per side and 2 MC275s.. for the lows and highs..
You'll think 22 X 40 with vaulted ceilings.. You'll think Amphitheater!!
BTW they are 3-500.00 each.. I do a little fan mod and they are completely silent.. 3500 + watts per channel at 2 ohms 1750 @ 8 ohms
MC275 bridged.. ?? I remember VERY well. I did MC240 twice, bridged, it took a lot of work to make them sound right.. 275s were just LOUD..
VOT speakers.. 80s... They were used for square dancing 150 x 150.
I loved that job... Russco record players too..
Regards
