Triamping with Akurate amps
Posted: 2022-04-30 16:57
I'm just awaiting delivery of my system following a series of upgrades. I'm getting a Kore, Karousel, T-Kable installed and my LK280 is being replaced by an AK4200 and AK2200, both Dynamiked to triamp passive Kabers with K600. I'm sure it will be a big upgrade, although I've heard none of it yet. I hope to pick up some aktiv cards in the future as a final step.
I recently saw a post about not all amp channels having the same musicality and recommending using a 4200 as a stereo amp, having identified the best 2 channels. Given that I'm going down the triamp route and ultimately aktiv I don't think I want to be using just 2 channels of a 6 channel amplifier, particularly if using notoriously difficult to drive passive Kabers.
However I was wondering if there would be any benefit in identifying the relative musicality of each channel and prioritising to the tweetersthen midrange etc? Or am I overthinking this?
Has anyone tried this?
