Hi

Anyone who has experience with bi-amping using the Tempest as pre-amp?

klaus has extra outs for that if you wish-or use them like i am going to for subs-

I am thinking of using the Stratos for LF and the Khartago for HF.

sounds like a plan-good luck

Wouldn't it be better to use identical amps to biamp due to the difference in gain from using two different amps?

Hi guys

I had the chance to try my Tempest, Khartago and Stratos Plus in a Bi-amp set-up.

The owner uses Harman Kardon Signature 1,0 and 1,5 to bi-amp his JBL 250. I listend to this set-up in about an hour and must say it sounded good.

We switched to a complete Odyssey set-up. As I only have 1 out on the Tempest we used a Y-connector which worked just fine.

The sound of the set-up was every bit as good as with the H/K. If anything the sound was a bit more refinded with the Odyssey than the H/K. The mid was more detailed and the bass deeper.

All in all the Odyssey/JBL set-up was really good. Maybe not as Rock'n'Roll as the with the H/K, but more refinded without loosing dynamics. More a matter of taste than quality. I can recommend anyone who has JBL 250 to try Odyssey.
