Quad 606 with a Quad 405
|
On another forum a chap says, he has been told, its ok to use a Quad power
amp (140 watts) with a Quad 405 (100 watts) with the same pre amplifier.
The idea being the 606 powers the bass and the 405 the tweeters.
Speakers being used Spendor s5e
Will this work ?

Quite pointless, as Serge said.

You are both correct from a simple electrical point of view it is quite
pointless. However, I might point out that rightly or wrongly, probably a
substantial majority of people with an interest in Hi-Fi would say that
Bi-amped systems sound better and indeed to be "pointless" the amplifiers
would have to suffer zero load issues.
I know, you think the majority are fools - fair enough.

To get any benefit you need to rip out the passive crossover
and put one of these between the preamp and the power amps:

Said Quad told him they have the same "gain"
|
** Quad is a company, not a person.
What some staffer allegedly said on the phone to some fool who was incapable
of comprehending his own question, let alone the reply he got, is purest
BOLLOCKS !!
The 405 and the 606 have the same nominal " input sensitivity" of 500mV.
But NOT the same gain !!
The 606 has just on 2 dB more gain.
