hybrid amp,split ouput

[blondfire]

hey all,
i have an idea... i'm thinking of an amp which has both solid state as well as tubes. okay...it goes like this, i want o use the tubes to run the tweeters and mid range but i wan the solid state to drive the woofer (low end freq ; i.e bass).
to put all this in one box, of course e speaker wud have to be bi-wired. the challenge wud be making this for a 2 way speaker. a 3 way speaker wud be easier i guess..
i've read e bi-amping articles but they dont really split the output signals like this. so guys, any ideas?
I'm running a pair of MISSION 764i speakers,89db @ 8ohm. anything upwards of 100v shud be enuf to power these guys. they do suck a lot of juice...

rgds.

If the speakers are 2-way then you can only use 2 amps per channel to drive them. So you would run the tweeters off the valve amp and the woofers off the transistor amp.

If it was a 3-way speaker then you could use another valve amp for the mid.

so wat ur saying is bi-amping is it?
i was thinking of everything in one box.. 1 amps in one box.. is there a circuit diagram for this?

What box the amps are in is not really relevant. Put them where you want.

You will either use the existing speaker passive crossover, or make a new electronic active crossover.

What remains is that you can't use both a transistor and valve amp on one drive unit, they must drive different drive units.
