Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I bought the Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp and think very,very highly of it...with zero buyers remorse. With that being said,I never heard any other PL product. 
Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?
pts said..."So maybe cut 60 HZ and below for the mains, and set the subs at 80 HZ? Then there’s still a little play between the two. I see how not drawing such a hard line with the frequencies could help not create a hole in the audio."Setting t... 
Cutting below 80 HZ on my mains, so subwoofers handle deep bass?

frozentundra ...Output impedance on the Primaluna Dialogue Premium is 256 Ohm. It would match very well with your Pass Labs xa30.5 ...Oh,did I mention that it sounds fantastic also? A giant killer if there ever was one. A tube rollers delight...

Regarding Joseph Audio Pulsar Loudspeakers
I owned the Pulsars and thought they were superb...period.. With that said... I ended up selling them only because they would not go as loud as I hoped for. But then again,no small monitors will. Also,they should be used in tandem with high qualit... 
Best way to power Sonus Faber Olympia III's
Hi hambon. I am using the Merrill Audio Veritas mono-blocks and a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp [nos tubes all around]... the combo is just plain fantastic to my ears.  
Best way to power Sonus Faber Olympia III's
As long as the amps have the power to drive the SF...it then comes down to what you like better...tubes or ss. I use ss amps and a tube pre myself.
