Amp/Preamp Asylum Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here. |
|
Many modern speakers have two binding posts, presumably for biwiring or biamping. One is for the mids/tweeters and the other for the woofers. I really like my all tube set up but have been very curious to try putting an SS amp on the bass. I really don't want to add an external crossover out of fear that it will degrade the "tube magic" mainly the 3d effect. The Y splitter has been proposed but does not separate the frequencies the amp receives and I think would lower output impedance dramatically, (esp with my choice of a tube pre.) If I could find a preamp with a crossover built in I could experiment as I stated above.
What then are the problems and limitations the preamp designer faces in trying to accomodate this desire?
