I've thought about setting up a Bi-amped stystem for a while now. I got the
idea from an article in Audio magazine a few years ago (early 1984). Right
now my system has cost me about $1500 (that my not sound like a lot to some
of you, but then i'm not a total phanatic), and I just cannot find
another amplifier that could do the job that i explian below.
Basically the article in Audio explians how to construct three slightly
differant ported subwoofers using JBL drivers, and in the next article
plans for an active crossover network are given. Using the crossover,
one can drive the mid and high ranges with their current amplifier,
and then using another amp drive the subwoofer.
I got so far as to build the crossover unit and one of the subwoofers that
the article covers. I then set out to find another amp that would finish
up my system. I was looking for an amp that could deliver about 100 watts
RMS with lots of headroom (since woofers eat power). Another thing that
I looked for was that the amp be in kit form (since I enjoy building things
as you may have guessed by now). After a rather extensive search of audio
magazines I still am unable to find a good amp in kit form that will satisfy
my requirments. Of course I found the Hafler kits, and the Heath kits but
they are just a little more than what i need or can afford at the moment.
Does anyone know of any manufacturers that make good quality
amps at a reasonable price in kit form?
