I just wanted to see what everyones fav amp ideas are for the sr6500s. I definitely would like to biamp and like the quad amp idea that Toxis is using because of the versatility but dont want to spend that much. I found a 4 channel Zapco Ref1000.4 I've been considering but would like some input before making a decision.
Pioneer - DEH-80PRS
Polk Audio - PA 500.4
Subamps?
Mids: Polk Audio - SR6500
Tweeters: Viva XT 25 SC 90 - 04
Subwoofers:?
Wiring?

    I've used the SR6500's with an Audison LRx 5.1K, running active. 2x60 watts rms for the tweeters, 2x160 watts rms for the woofers. Very nice sounding combo. Zapco reference would be a good match.

    consider I have 2 amps that have totally identical specs except for the fact that:

    AMP A 100 watts x 4@ 4 ohms
    AMP B 100 watts x 4@ 2 ohms

    if I were to use AMP A with 4 ohm speakers and
    AMP B with 2 ohm speakers

    would there be any sonic difference?
    would this difference affect the amp or speakers differently?
