JC-1's were trialled with B&W 800D's running lo frequencies in a passive "bi-amp" mode, tubes on mid/lo, parasound dealer sceptical re this experiment, first cd Mary Black 'Circus' and instant cohesion and dealer and I going 'WOW', the bass more extension and control and locked in with clearer vocals to die for, an experiment gone right, the system more energised continues to astound. JC-1's running full range in home theatre makes front wall of un- strained sound, this has been a good buy!!!! -
Huh... you bi-amped a speaker, using JC-1's for part of the speaker, and tubes for the other?

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

That's common practice. Solid state for the power hungry low end. Warm sounding tubes for the efficient high end...Originally posted by Chris D

I've owned my JC 1s since their introduction. I've never looked back. I'm not surprised they work well with B&Ws. I'm glad to hear you like them in both stereo and home theater application. Have fun!Comment

JC-1 follow-up
These amps continue to surprise great extension on bass and sound pressure, takes all the 'heavy' work from the tubes on mid/hi. The B&W guide suggests the crossovers are designed for passive bi-amping and recommend experimentation with different gain-matched amps, this hobby[obsession] getting even more intruiging!!!Comment
