Aragon to Classe.....

Well, you'll have 300 watts a side @ 4ohms, in stereo mode (vertical biamp)...I'd go there. You could probably get rid of the Carver.

With the bass drawing the most power from the amps, vertical gives you more power supply at the ready. (you can try both ways of course).

Thanks for the help, yes vertical would be ideal to give less signal creep (I think) I just wondered if its odd to run Vertical when Lch would say be for bass and Rch for mids and tweets......is this ok or go Horizontal so bass is isolated to one amp and mids and tweets to the other?

In horizontal biamp, both channels of one amp are responsible for bass in both left/right speakers, so that one amp is exposed to the heaviest load while the other amp is loafing only being asked to drive the mid/tweets of both channels. In the verticle mode (one amp) is responsible for the bass in only one channel plus the mid/tweet of the same speaker. Therefore the load on the amplifier is reduced. Also, when operated in this manner you are running the amplifier pair as stereo amps and not bridged which may present a problem with very low impedence speakers.

I would also take the Classe over the Aragon for sound quality.

I'm not sure I understand you correctly?

The stereo amps will act as mono amps...one left, one right. Each amp gets two inputs...left channel Hi/Lo for the left amp...right channel Hi/Lo for the right amp.

I'm assuming that each amp has only one transformer?...if so, you could have some extra headroom for bass reproduction with a vertical biamp, because each channel will have it's own transformer.

This may, or may not be the case?...as I don't know the Classe amps.

Of course you already mentioned another advantage that could come into play...I'll add shorter speaker cables to that.

Thats three "possible" advantages I can think of.

Dave

in mono mode, you would use only 1 input, and for the classe it is the left input on each amp.
