Bi-amp outputs to single out...do-able?.

75.164.237.185

I have this Panasonic SA-AK300 mini stereo that came with it's own
(dedicated) bi-amp-able speakers, which I want to replace with some
much better towers with single inputs. Is there any safe way to
combine the low and high outputs into one?. Would 10 mf NP caps
help any?. I think the amps' crossover is 3K.

But you may be able to mod the speakers if they are two way with a similar crossover point.

  Thanks...was afraid of that. Wanted to use Def. Tech. BP8's,
  seems the crossover freq. is kept secret. 3K might be close though.
  
  I have some similar sized Klipsch Synergy's that ARE bi-ampable
  so I'll look into that too.

    Keep in mind that the mini-system has a spec of 10% THD. Since it's not a high performance unit, more resolving and demanding loudspeakers will simply make this shortcoming more obvious.

      It's 10% THD at the rated power but I'm sure it's 1% or less at 50-75% of the rated power. Sure there is a lot, no tons of room for improvement but it isn't 10% THD at all power levels.

        Point well taken, Awe-d-o-file. Perhaps I'm conveying how counter-productive it is to try to adapt the use of low-fi gear with a greater goal.
        
        IMHO, the OP would be better off choosing inexpensive source components and a T-Amp with loudspeakers of his choice rather than try to expand a mini-system with dubious quality bi-amp outputs.
        
        my 2 cents

        I agree with that too. I guess he's trying to make do with what is on hand. Those mini systems have bad tuners, CD players and don't usually have good tone controls either. Plastic poo!

        I know this is not an ideal match...just setting something
        up for my parents, I had this unused Pano. sitting around.
        
        I like the compact size feature, but might reconsider!.

        I hope it works out!
