Roughly a year ago I build some 115 liter cabinets to put a set of Heathkit AS223 in them, powered by an Aiwa P30 driven with an Aurex SY335 with full mods of line stage and phono stage here from AK, the system seems OK and sounds good. I changed the crossover from the single cap for the tweeter to a generic Realistic two way crossover which seem to do a better job with a crossover frequency at 4.5KHz for woofer and tweeter with some L-pad resistors of ca. 6dB to pad down the tweeter.
Still the crossover is not really the best solution and before I tinker with a passive crossover I think about biamping the set either with an active crossover and a set of identical amps or maybe a MiniDSP like I'm doing this already in my main system.
To make a long story short for this I'm looking into a set of two identical amps which don't break the bank. I was looking into Xkitz kits on the bay which would include also the crossover but I would still be left without a good power supply for them. Building a stable and save housing for amps and PS puts me a little bit off since I don't have the means for mechanical work. Building electronics isn't the issue but no workshop for metal work at home.
During my search I found from time to time sets of Biamp CPA 130 commercial power amps. Are they any good for that kind of job or are they too much PA like with not good frequency responses?
I'm looking for something that doesn't overpower the Heathkits and these seem to have a packaged deal with PS and stable build. Any input would be helpful.
