@bigddesign3 I agree that using the subwoofer crossover is killing your system. Plus I found the Bel Canto Ref 1000 to be polite and little boring. They are smooth.
Preamp Advice for my System
I am considering changing the preamp in my system. I have a BAT-42KSE and have started to look for something different. How would you compare a Pass X1, Bryston BP-26, or Classe CP-800 to the BAT? How are those 3 different from each other. The BAT sounds a little laid back to my ears.
