Maggie Bi Wire vs Active OX

Planar Speaker Asylum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Anyone who has followed my saga knows I burned up a few Behringer XOs, probably due to the springy bananas had collapsed and were not making good contact inside the female inputs, where going 4 channel into the speakers or into the OEM XO

Now that that problem is resolved, I decided to stay with the OEM XO and biwire. I was fairly certain that it would be significantly better, comparable to the musical balance I enjoyed when bi-amping, but would one W4S 500, which doubles in 4 ohms (well sort of) be enough?

Interestingly rock causes the amps' protection circuit to kick in more than large orchestra classical. Go figure.

Anyway, this might yet resolve itself with Parasounds' new P5, 2.1 channel preamp. It has a beefier power supply and a lower noise floor, and if that's not enough it has a built in subwoofer XO

Alas, they're back ordered, but at least biwire is a huge step forward.
