Tri amping

[speakerman1]

So there's 3 crossovers in the Epos?

Yes

I run my woofers off a separate amp and bi-wire the other two. The woofers will take more power to push the air. I run the Creek to the mids and tweets and the ST-80. They are close in power. The Creek has a preout and is integrated. Keep it simple. use a everything passive. Less noise or chance there of.

I forgot about bi-wiring Doh!! So many choices....need more amps with serious Grunt!!!!

If you go passive you will need all amps to be the same power/input sensitivity or you need gain pots on the amps so you can dial them in to be the same. Going active triamp this is not a requirement and it does allow for possible improved control of drivers by amp thru elimination of the passive crossover components. (able to take advantage of damping factor somewhat)

as long as he's not getting serious with the set-up, a single volume control should yield as decent a result as the individual amps allow for. yes, matching gain between amps is optimal, but just being close in this regard can be very enjoyable.

Technics use to have a very inexpensive 5.1 processor. Not the 1st one that had mono rears. I had 5 amp hook up on it I ran the Hafler for the mains at 250 wpc and the Others were Marantz I think MA-250s were the model. If you have an A&B run bi-wires off of A and a single off of B. It was mostly passive. It got great reviews. I got an open box one for 125.00. Only Technics or Marantz I have ever owned. You will notice a change that is for sure.
