BION these chips are unstable at low gain settings.Minion said:Couldn"t you also just use a Lower Gain on the Tweeter chipamp to get less output power ??
..or attenuate the tweeter in an active crossover with a potentiometer/trimmer, which makes it easy to adjust later on. On the other hand there seems to be only a capacitor in front of the tweeter, so maybe the two drivers are already of similar sensitivity. Then they would need the same gain and level.
Today I woke up with a thought in my mind.. Try what AndrewT said..
So I remembered my father's 20-year Rising Hi-fi system (mine also ) wich has 4 ouputs..
So I listened both configurations for a while..
And, the first impression is:
Paralelled: Good sound. Very good bass. Treble could be a little more clean, though...
Sperated inputs: The bass is a little less loud but the treble is way way better! Of course the treble is, as Redshift187 mentioned, a little overpowered but I compensated that with equalization just to have a better idea.
(I found this speakers quite impressive for they size )
Have not decided quite yet but I think the bi-amplified config is a good choice.. I'd have to make a crossover though...

bi-amplify does not equate to active speaker
Hi,
there's a first conclusion:
bi-amplifying a bi-wireable speaker makes the sound output different.
Many builders and listeners on this Forum say this conclusion is either impossible or a waste of resources.
How does one amplifier (non parallel) compare to two amplifiers driving the separated terminals?

Well, they are - not intending to offend anyone - completely wrong!Many builders and listeners on this Forum say this conclusion is either impossible or a waste of resources.
Maybe it's just my constant search for sound perfectness..Or at least anything close to it!
I'm sure bi-amplifying is quite more expensive and laborious, but in my opinion, it's definitly worth it!!
Anyway, let's think: We guys make what? an amp per year, perhaps! Technics/Panasonic engineers make - just guessing here - some dozens/year ?! I really don't think those guys would make bi-amplified systems just for fun!! It's only my guess though...

What do you mean? Bi-amplifying comparing to amplifying the seperated terminals with only one amp? Is this what you mean? I'm sorry, Portuguese guy here!! :
RJ.
yes, use one amplifier (non parallel) to drive both sets of terminals (Treble + Mid/bass) compared to using two amplifiers, one to each pair of terminals (amp to Mid/base, separate amp to Treble).ruijorgemoreno said:What do you mean?
