Of > course for you that would mean 24 monoblocks if I count correctly... The TACT systems allow you to use an external digital crossover (up to 24th order Butterworth or Butterworth Squared). In my 2 channel rig, this means that I use the TACT to set a crossover at 220Hz to separate the mains from the TACT corner load subs. What you are talking about can be done already with the TACT BOZ 216/2200. I use that system in my 5.1 setup with the TACT TCS MKII. While I don't have 3 amps for each of my 5 Eggleston Andra IIs, I do use 2, separating the lower driver (at 135hz) from the upper drivers on each of my Andra IIs. I use a total of 10 amps in that system (not including the sub) and set the crossovers via the TACT BOZ 216. Here is a pic of the 3 front Andra IIs in my 5.1 audio setup. Each one is bi-amped and uses external crossovers. I had Eggleston build them with the lower crossover disconnected. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: andra.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1639| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Sleestack *headphone:* singlepower sds-xlr at, classe sacd2, hd650 *2 channel:* tact rcs 2.2.xp w/ full aberdeen mods, bel canto oneref. 1000 monoblocks x 4,teac esoteric p-03/d-03, epiphany 12-12s (waiting for my 20-21s), tact w210 corner load subs *5.1 channel:* tact tcs mkii w/ aberdeen power supply, tact boz 216/2200 (x5) w/ aberdeen power supply, tact adc6 w/ full aberdeen mods, denon 5910, bel canto pl-1a, eggleston andra ii (x5), velodyne dd-15, pioneer elite pro 1130hd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sleestack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19817 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
