I recently came to own a pr of JBL 4430s. I tried to bi-amp with a Bel Canto Set 40 on HF and a Dynaco ST400 on LF, a modest BBE crossover and a First Sound Pre-amp. Could not get close to the passive x-overs and have decided to abandon bi-amp. The Set 40 sounds fantastic on HF but does not have the power to really handle the LF too. Any suggestions from experience on what I should put to these classics to preserve the sweet tube sound but also provide a beefy tight LF?
