Just got myself an A30 power amp to give bi-amping a try...will post some pics up forthwith. In the meantime, the A30 is in the same 'small' NVA box as the phono stage.
So much for the 'box count reduction'![]()

Not got round to getting Richard to bi-wire-config the amp end of the LS5 speaker cable yet so just had the A30 running on its own. What a wonderfully sweet sounding little amp this is!![]()

I Think you may well love bi - amping - as I do. Rob's previous thoughts about the synergy of bi - amping being difficult to get right need not apply here with an all NVA setup. What amazed me most was this:
Difference between 40 watts and 70 watts = fantastic!
Difference between 70 watts and re-introducing 40 watts in addition up top = Even greater!
Maybe the crossover leeches the signal more than I can imagine, but it was still a tremendous suprise to me.
BTW, didn't your A30 come with some LS1? If your royds can biwire then you'll be ok surely?(I'm not calling you shirley...)

Nice one Alan, glad you're pleased with your bi-amped set-up.
You're right, I found that one amp running my MLs was better than bi-amping, however I think it was just in that case as most seem to benefit from bi-amping.
Ooo oo oo, talking of amplifiers, a change for me is afoot - I'm so excited at the moment!
