Re: Intro to bi-/tri-ampingYou probably won't blow the compression driver with the XLS2500. Even though the power rating seems high, the driver will appreciate the extra voltage. Usually, if you don't hear distortion you'll be OK. The only time an issue could arise is if there is a big feedback squeal or other impulsive sound that could blow the driver, or at least damage it. This is why limiters are a good idea, but they have to be properly set.Also, why are you mixing DSP amplifiers and regular amps? This makes no sense. You don't want to use an external DSP with the XTis; they are already noisy enough and the additional AD/DA stage won't help you at all. Might as well pick up an XTi1000 for $200 for the HF, and use internal XTi DSP. Heck, you could probably sell your external DSP and other amp and recoup the cost anyway.
