McIntosh designed the MC901 dual mono amplifier with a 300 watt tube side and a 600 watt solid state side. The idea is you'd run the tweeter/mid module with the tube section and the woofer cabinet with the solid state. This is how the owner had them hooked up. We ran them with a pair of Audio Research Ref 160M's and heard significant improvement in detail, realism and overall naturalness of the music. That tells us that tri or bi-amping just for the sake of having multiple amplifiers or tons of power isn't always necessary needed to get the most out of a loudspeaker. Just good clean amplification with enough headroom and these have the potential to sound fantastic.
@@ericlang2629 Thank you so much for your reply, I really like this acoustic! I wanted to power it on a mac MC1.25kw. There was an assumption that bi/tri-amping is not required!
Je ne suis pas particulièrement fan de ce genre d'enceinte avec une multitude de hp 😮
hello, I wonder how to connect them... is there a difference in tri-amping and is it worth bothering?

$175,000 for 1 of those?? HAHAHA no way!!! The manufacturing cost is around 5k, and the leftover is a profit for the company... How dare they!? 😤😡
