Nola Baby Grand Reference I


I would like to know if the Nola Baby Grand Reference 1 can be bi-amped. I would like to use solid state mono blocks for the bass and tube mono blocks for the top end. These amplifiers are identical in each case. Does anyone have the documentation for these speakers?

Thank you.

Yes I do have all the equipment needed for bi-amping. I was bi-amping my Legacy audio Focus 20/20 before. The nola baby grand reference 1 have external crossovers with output connections to what seems to be for high, mid, and low. But none of the connection on the crossover or the speaker is labled so that is where I am lost. I dont want to do it incorrectly. Do you know anyone with these speakers and have the documentation? I can't find the one for mine.

Thanks. ?.
I suggest calling Nola. They are very helpful answering questions and making suggestions.
If there are indeed no connection designation markings or indicators on either the external crossovers or the speakers then you should definitely call Carl @ 631-738-2540.
It's good experience to play, but single amp is always better unless you're planning to use electronic x-over.
Tonal balance with passive is only achievable at very limited volume levels. Even if you 'dial' a proper volume level, you will still have a chance to loose tonal balance on sophisticated music that requires large dynamic headroom.
It's always better to get the best out of single amp rather than getting the worst out of biamp.
If you truly want to have best of both worlds, you should use tube preamp and SS amp.
Yes, I will be using Tube amps for top end and Solid State amps for the bottom end. I have an electronic crossover built into my Mcintosh MEN220 room correction unit. I did contact Nola, but he said if I bi-amp the speakers they would not sound "Coherent". What that means I dont know. I know what the word mean, but not in this context. Moreover, everyone hears differently, that's why I like to listen for myself and not just to reviewers.
