What's the deal with choosing output powers when tri-amping? If my 3-way
speakers are rated at 50W, and I want to double the number of bass drivers,
what o/p power should I choose for each amp?
At the moment, I'm thinking of 100W low bass, and 50W each for bass/mid and
treble. Won't my T27s freak out if there's a 50W amp dedicated to them? In
the present 3-way setup, how would the power from a single 50W amp split up
in terms of which driver gets what power?
In spite of being unsure of this, I'm presently thinking that an easy way to
do this is a stack of three Cyrus Two amps. That way, I can adjust the
volumes to balance the level to each driver, with overall output determined
by the capability of the low bass section. I could also compensate for the
somewhat recessed mid that becomes apparent at times.
From what I've read, the Cyrus Two is very good at detail, but a little
light on bass. I like the idea of good detail. I'm after bass which is
tight, solid, and very low. It doesn't have to be mega-loud. Maybe the light
bass (be there such) can be compensated for by adjusting the volume of the
low bass amp, or using some sort of filter at the pre-amp.
Am I on a concievably-sensible track with this Cyrus Two idea?
