If you wanted to go all out ( HA !!! Who wouldn't "like" to ??? ), one could probably make even further gains by actively bi-amping and using 4 identical mono-blocks for amps.
It is commonly known that most ribbons / planars / E-stat's can be difficult loads. Obviously, so can multiple woofers. If one were able to give each section of the speaker its own dedicated amplifier and power supply AND maintain channel seperation, you would have the best of both worlds. That is, so long as the amp was capable of driving each type of load easily AND sound good doing it. As we've all come to find out, some amps have specific sonic traits and may work best over a limited frequency range. Sean
