Bi amping my Vonschwikert VR4jrs

No you don't need "perfectly matched amps", but you do have to be able to control the gain within reason on at least one of the amps, whereby then you can match the gain being delieved too both. Leading to a balanced presentation into your very very nice speakers.

As a listener, not an engineer, is there anyone in the Sacramento California area that can point me in the right direction to get this resister/gain thing figured out?

In the thread I cited, Albert mentioned Michael Percy at www.percyaudio.com, who could put together the resistors you need.

He also mentions something simple: the Channel Islands Audio vpc-3 Passive Controller. It essentially functions as a volume knob for your Celeste HT3. Once you hook it up (with interconnects--nothing technical), you can lower the output of your bass amp to match the output of your mid/tweet amp, whatever that may be. Once the vpc is set, you can then simply use the volume knob on your pre to raise or lower the volume on the whole thing. You can probably get some good advice from the folks at Channel Islands in any case. BTW, what amp are you looking at for the mids/tweets?

Just curiuos- why do you not simply bi-wire?

I am not sure what amp to get. Thats the next step after figuring out how to get it done. I am thinking Tube 25-40 WPC. i am very budget minded. any recommendations?
