Bi amping with two different pairs of monoblocks

I find this thread interesting as I'm about to embark upon a biamping expedition myself. I have two beautifully refurbished Yamaha m2s. I plan on building a electronic crossover with burson op-amp replacements. This crossover will cross over at the mid-base mid-range crossover point of 400 cycles which is exactly what my speakers use. That way the amps will work in their sweet spots, my preamp is an anthem str and will automatically cross over to the crossover to the two amps running my founder 100s and to my sub xr13. I think the external crossover is the answer to this problem for the original poster. Someone mentioned a Dayton DSP which I believe is just a rebranded mini DSP which would do the trick because it would create a crossover point. Allow you to adjust the timing and allow you to adjust the levels for each amplifier that has a good chance of succeeding. If each amp has level controls this is definitely a must try. All the people that say this is a fruitless proposition. Forget that as audio files everything we do is a an experiment in our constant search for audio perfection. No experiment is fruitless if it increases the knowledge that you have about reproducing sound in modern systems, that is just the journey that we take. I've been doing this since I was 16 and could drive myself to my local audio store and set up a friendship that lasted through my teenage years. Go ahead and hook them up. And balance them and see where you stand. You can always unhook them and go back to the old way. Try them forwards and backwards. You never know what you're going to hear. Have fun!

I said it was a ridiculous proposition in the context that the OP would be better served buying a decent front end and some high quality speaker jumpers, they really make a difference.

 Got it.

OP

With a gear like yours, you would need a good Pre-amp to drive them. suggest as posted above the Pass Labs Xp-32 , which accommodates Bi or Tri amplification. only when you are committed to this type of amplification. 

Otherwise, just use the schiit and a pair of Y connectors..

Active crossovers have been mentioned, and can have several benefits if the circumstances are right.  In most cases it requires bypassing the stock passive crossovers, which is a fairly big change to a set of speakers....certainly doable for many, but if the crossovers employ corrections, baffle steps, impedance compensations, zobel networks, etc.,the plot thickens.  Just swapping in a simple active crossover may have a very different effect than the passive crossover.  More advanced active crossovers could probably accommodate all of those, but it’s wise to not assume it’s a straight forward swap.  Plus some passive crossovers are excellent and are really fine tuned.  Food for thought if anyone is contemplating similar.

 

(Knotscott) My suggestion eases the BASS Burden of the high pass amplifier relying on the speakers existing crossover to fill the Original Designers aural goals. Most definitely if going full active crossover, I would go DSP crossover to allow all manners of parameters to adjust
