acoustat 3

[Williams Audio]

hi
there is a question that is troubling me for some time
i own an acoustat 3, the xover has two sections connected together at input, one for low and one for hi
disconnecting this junction and connect it each one to a separate pwr amp will be equal like doubling the pwr, driving the low and hi separately
each amp will deal with an easier load and impedance
so, i will have to use two stereo pwr amps, whether someone tried this?
is a good idea?
best regards,
Williams

This question surfaces frequently. The hi and low frequency transformers overlap considerably in frequency range, so the traditional method of bi-amping 'tweeter' and 'woofer' do not really apply here. Sure, some people have tried it, but I have never heard of anyone finding that it was a significant improvement. I wouldn't bother pursuing this idea.

If you need more power, a larger single amplifier channel is really the only wa to go.

hi acoustatman
well, thanks for the answer
but, maybe it is not fully certain, i will test this soon
