In Reply to: RE: Need help understanding what went wrong - biamping with 2 different amps. posted by pictureguy on January 12, 2015 at 19:21:24:
The only things in common are make/model of the speakers (well, more or less - mine are newer iteration), and the fact that SS amp is on bass, and tube - on mids/highs.Also, the fuse blew up in SS amp, and I'm pretty sure it was coincidental with turning the tube amp off.
PS: Why it actually works:
Although, as you said, in the absence of a line-level X-over the amp still sees the full-range signal, it's not tasked with actually reproducing all of it - into impedance it's not comfortable with. If you look at the impedance curve of the speakers at the link in my OP, you will see that an amp must work much harder, to reproduce bass.
As long as you don't approach clipping with tube amp driving mids/highs - it should work, and I can confirm that it does. There's no distortion audible at very high volume, unlike the tube amp driving speakers full-range.
