Frank, I was under the impression that you were bi-amped (tube highs and solid state lows), not just bi-wired. Maybe that'd clear up some of the confusion.
You actually are splitting the tweeter and woofer wires at the speakers and reconnecting them together at the amp ?
Why ?
Inductive circuit is then added to the speaker.
Long Wire = LC circuit. This is the argument against bi-wiring.
The (presumed) benefit of biamping and frequency split before the cable run is supposed to be a greater benefit than the "cost" of adding the wire's reactance.
Is the amp doing "bass management" and providing the split for you with high and low freq-outs ? That would make sense.
I'm just starting to get back into playback and alot has changed.
I won't even tell you that back in the sixties I sold off a pair of old Scott monos as inefficient and troublesome "boat anchors" when I went SS. Uh, I guess I said it.....
We used to scoff at bi-amping for home systems as well. Overkill, like feeding a big McIntosh into JBL horns.
Well, like I said, alot has changed.
Anyone using a low-power SE amp ? We used to think these as "cheapish" compared to the P-P powerhouses.
Now, I'm looking at a circuit for one and rechecking my speaker efficiency to deceide if it'd be worth building.
Full circle.
