Biamping, yes or no?


My upgrade bug is here again!!!

My speakers: Tyler Acoustics D1
Amps: Emotiva XPA-1's monoblocks
Preamp: W4S STP/SE

I'm considering leaving the Emo's for the bass and getting a pair of tube monos for the mids and highs.

Do you think the Rogue M-180 monos will be a good choice?

Thanks you all.

Biamping is useful for live pro sound, but not so much for home audio, unless using "active" speakers with built in amps which can work fine (home recording studio monitors...save space). Otherwise, there are many good reasons why almost nobody does that, one of which is it usually doesn't sound better. I'm in the camp of using well designed smaller amps to get more bang for the buck, as lower powered amps from the same maker can have the tone mojo without wasting money on unnecessary extra wattage. Modern well designed passive crossovers from well regarded designers usually sound great...to believe otherwise is silly.
