You are right, but still their crossovers are poor! 
Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8
I give you another example. The fist Pass labs set I bought was the XA-100.5 and XP-20. At that time I prefered the XA series far over the X series. Here at Audiogon most people also prefer the XA series. And I understand.But.....when I receieved ... 
Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8
Bi-amping with different amps is not that easy to get it perfectly ballanced. I would not go for that.I invite many of my clients to take a listen to my set at home. Because this is the easiest way to explain all different parts which need to be t...

The Infinity is a fun speaker, I owned 2 different ones in the past. But when I started in 1998 in audio I learned how instruments sound and how small and direct they are in proportion. I changed eveything. i remember that I sold my last Kappa 100... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Cables like the Audioquest Wel Signature give you a new level in lstening to music. It has to do with more details, beter blacks and a superior physical stage. When you use cables like MIT and Transparent to make the mid and high freq. more involv... 
Best speaker Cable matching Wilson Audio Sasha
MIT has done not enough research to improve their cables. Audioquest has outperformed them easily. In the last 3 years I win every battle against MIT cables with ease. The distributer in my country stopped even with MIT. Because the sales of MIT a... 
Power cable for Pass x150, x150.5 or INT-150
I owned the MIT AC2, but they are inferior compared to the Purist Audio Limited Edition. Like the Transparent don't even come close to the Limited Edition. Maybe the Limited is more expensive. But it brings you to a much higher level. As you know ... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
You are right, but gold is less precise. I really F. hate inferior details and precision. That is why you need to adapt the other tools to create a musical involving sound. For me it is very easy to solve it! 
Best speaker Cable matching Wilson Audio Sasha
Transparent cables are easy to use cause of the musical mid freq. But......there is a limitation! When you want the best they never will give you ultimate blacks, timing and physical individuela focus of some competitors. When you compare their be...

The Infinity have very poor crossovers. The 804 has also not great crossovers. But those of the Infinity are really poor. I owned them in the past!! 
Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8
01-25-15: Miketuason"I think your MC601 is a much better amp than the pass Labs"I guess you didn't compare them both? You are taking nonsense. I think you need to comprae them before you can judge. The 100.8 is full class A. Beside this it build t...

The S tweeter is also outdated compared to the lastest tweeters. I would never go for that one. This is being said by a person who owned the B&W 800 S, with the same tweeter!

Describe ube sound vs solid state
I had many discussions about shows using Pass labs amps with Desmond from Pass Labs. In most situations they make different mistakes. When you are not aware of the properties of each tool you never will understand how the overall sound will be bui...
