Bi-amp 2.3tls yay or nay?

Currently I am using an Aragon 4004 mkII(200wpc) on my 2.3tl's, with the jumpers on the Polks. I am looking at a GAS Son of Ampzilla(80wpc). I wondered how it might sound if I used the GAS for the uppers and the Aragon for the mid woofers? I do have the A1 cable and my preamp has 2 main outs. Any Polkies have good results biamping these?

Do you have a way to match the gain of the 2 very different amps? If not, it isn't going to work.Political Correctness'.........defined

How about 2 Son of Ampzillas? I already have one on the way and can get another. Better off sticking with using the Aragon via jumpers on the Polk's binding posts or biamping a pair of the GAS? :question:Jeff

I'd try it both ways. It really depends on the quality of the amps. +1 that you have to have a way of matching the gain or everything will be out of whack.
I used to biamp my Def Tech BP 30's with a carver TFM 42 on the lows and a TFM 24 on the highs. In order to make it sound right I used a NAD C160 pre that had to sets of outputs to power amps with adjustable gain on one. I plugged the 42 into the fixed gain output and the 24 into the adjustable. Dialed it in perfectly and used it for several years until the 24 died."Science is suppose to explain observations not dismiss them as impossible" - Norm on AA; 2.3TL's w/sonicaps/mills/jantzen inductors, Gimpod's boards, Lg Solen SDA inductors, RD-0198's, MW's dynamatted, Armaflex speaker gaskets, H-nuts, brass spikes, Cardas CCGR BP's, upgraded IC Cable, Black Hole Damping Sheet strips, interior of cabinets sealed with Loctite Power Grab, AI-1 interface with 1000VA A-L transformer
