Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

RE: Looking for a high pass filter kit

That is the wrong way to biamp !!

TWO things are negatives to consider carefully :

(1) You will have to go through an active crossover, which involves one extra active electronic stage and parts for the signal to transverse, extra cabling,........... ALL with their attendant losses.

(2) On any good system, you will EASILY hear the different timing and signatures of differing amps, differing topologies, and it will be far less than optimal. The ear - brain can easily detect that.

Optimal to biamp is to have SAME AMPS EXACTLY on top and bottom, and same wire and wire lengths also. But then, you STILL have Problem (1) as above, a whole other crossover with its attendant losses to go through before you even get the signal to the amps.

Ideal is often the SIMPLEST : a single, great, truly great amp, a full-range amp, and a passive speaker-level crossover,........ if into tubes : a high efficiency speaker, well wired.


Have fun.
