RE: Wich "t-amp" for bi-amping?




Got the SMSL SA50 two days ago.
Strangely, it's been much harder to set things up than with the regular, cheap integrated solid-state amps I've been using on the low pass until now.
It took me hours to find a satisfying integration of the low-pass on the SMSl with the high-pass on the Trends.
finally switched the polarity of the speaker cables out of the trends, and things integrate now better.
I suspect the previous amps were kinda boomy and had an artificial "glow", or blurring, wich made them easier to integrate subjectively.

I also suspect the SMSl TDA chips might be inverting absolute phase (or maybe the Tripath chips in the trends?).

It really starts to sound good now, but what a pain! Here's a picture of the two midgets: smsl sa50 on the left (gold for the bling-bling appeal), modded Trends on the right :)
