I've got a pair of Hornshoppe Horns and a pair of Definitive Technologies BP2002 speakers. I had thought to set up a dual system with my CD player going into a B&K Reference 50 powered by an Outlaw 750 amp..using the 750 to bi-amp the DefTechs. Then the horns would use a Music Hall MMF-5 TT and a Hagerman Cornet preamp into whatever tube amp I could find. This way I would be able to have a digital SS system and an all analog tube system with single driver horns...best of both worlds.
OK..sorry about the lengthy setup... but here's what's happening.
I haven't yet found a tube amp and the other day just for kicks, I took the bi-amp off the DefTechs, and hooked up the horns in tandem with the DefTechs... and WOW. Something is working well. I didn't think it would sound good at all but it's AMAZING. It's not just me...my friend (who's a DICK about audio) was flabbergasted.
Anyone know what's going on here? Have there been other 4 speaker setups like this?
