Well it's not that I don't like my current setup, just trying to improve on it. I thought there was a big improvement when I moved to a bi-amp setup, and I'm thinking tri-amping would be another step up.
It's my general impression that tube amps are known for their sweet highs.
I totally get the point about less power being necessary for the higher frequencies. I was thinking I wouldn't need anything near 125 watts, even with the crossover at 1.7khz.
And do you really think I'm underpowered with 500w per channel on the mids/ribbons right now? I'm surprised to hear that.
BTW, re the "farting" -- if you turn up the volume loud enough, peaks in bass will cause the panels to "rattle" or emit an unpleasant "thwapping" sound. At that point, I know I have to back off, and that's as loud as I can go.
I'm about to move into a bigger room. Wonder if I'm going to need to upgrade to the 20.1's...
