| Agree or disagree with the following statement. True, you can't tell how equipment sounds based only on measurements. But that's more a factor of us not having adequate measurements that are truly fit for purpose. And we should always listen to equipment when spending our money, because in the ... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. Csontos: and imbeciles have never been known to be found in internet chat forums, right? Right? | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Yeah I agree that does get tiresome. For the record I mentioned Kent who is works at Pass factory, not Reno. It was the other guy who brought up Reno.Acurus see my question posed to you above. Thanks for your feedback. | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Elixir,I haven't spoken to Kent about the .8 series. But in the past he has suggested the AB amps for B&W speakers. I've had my speakers for about 20 years since they were new, but I won't keep them forever.I'm not actively looking to make a p... | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Acurus and Teajay, okay I hear what you are saying, that you feel the .8 is a signficant upgrade over the .5, but I am not comparing apples to apples. I'm comparing the 30 watt stereo single chassis .8 to the monoblock .5 which has more power and ... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? The listening room is about 15x24 and speakers are B&W Matrix 803 s2. They're being driven fine with my Pass x250.5 AB model but I have a wandering eye for the class A models. I already understand the pros/cons of AB vs A. I actually also have... | |

| Help Me Choose a Preamp Good recommendation by Robsker. The Rogue Metis would be a great choice. | |
| Help Me Choose a Preamp My correction... Parasound obviously, not "Paramount" haha autocorrect. | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs I see that the Quote Police are out in full force. | |
| Amp Selection Help Ahh the old "B&W bright" angle. An oldie but a goodie that just self perpetuates. Depends on the model ...P.S. the post forgot to mention the obligatory comment about metal dome tweeters (normally said in a way that implies B&W are the onl... | |
| Help Me Choose a Preamp I have a "value champ" in the Forte F44 that I've owned for a long time. Quite nice sounding, and well under your budget, if you can find one. If not, how about one of the Paramount Halo preamps? The Adcom 750 is supposed to be a great value, true... | |
| Bryston BP26 with Pass Labs ZD, my point is that well-designed Preamps should sound neutral and not color the sound. Neither the Pass XP series nor the Bryston are known to have this characteristic (as opposed to, say, an older Conrad-Johnson or similar tube pre). No, I'm no... |
