I have to confess that I don't obsess about that sort of stuff these days - Does it sound good and does it let me into the music? Yes. Right, cue the next track!
And yes, also available in darkly tinted glass - but why would I want to obscure my lovely tartan carpet? :scratch: :lol:
It's no good, I just can't get bi-amping with different amps to work well. :scratch:
I thought it might be good to run my Carat A57 integrated amp on the midrange/treble of my MBL speakers and the Philips 380 power amp on the bass.
Both are, imo, excellent amps. The Carrot having a little more subtlety and finesse, and Phil majoring on clarity and clout.
Should have worked well, I would have thought ...

But nope, the sound just didn't jell right. Definitely sounded a bit off, and well short of either amp on its own.
Weird. :hmm:
The gain on the amps will be different so it wont sound right. maybe using digital xovers would solve the mismatch.
No, it's not that. There is adjustable gain on the Philips power amp, so I matched them up OK.Quote:

Experiment with interconnects and speaker cables.
Have you tried switching the amps round. You never know! :)
Ah, good point! .....Quote:

Going back to just one amp is a major improvement!
I've found this before when I tried bi-amping with different amps. With different sound signatures, it just messes up the whole presentation.
