| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert awesome! thank you. | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? Ok, I have settled in and see two options, both keeping in mind that if a pair of Dynaudio Confidence 3's show up, I want to be able to accommodate them. In the meantime, I'm loving the Tannoy sound and the Stirlings are staying for some time. 1.... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @pdreher I feel you. I used a Cary 306/200 for many years - the BurrBrowns were hard to beat! A good friend uses the same DAC and loves it too. The 3V may have been all I needed, but I'm skeptical. Bass and dynamics loss, congestion/breakdown with... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @sandthemall @audioguy85 My buddy with the PL/Stirlings runs a Linn Sondek, too, with a modded EAR834P which all adds up to sweet tunes. He put a BMI Oceanic Statement pc on his PL and said "I doubled my fidelity." It was definitely an impressive... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @sandthemall I hear you. My friend has the Stirling with an EVO 200 (44wpc/UL only) and it sounds very nice. Can you run the 400 in triode effectively? | |
| audible illusions vs supratek, vs holoaudio vs backert @ebm Noted the Supratek comment - agree! I have the opportunity for a 1 owner sparingly used 18 year old Syrah at a good price. It would have to be packed and shipped (professionally). I'm unfamiliar with their longevity/reliability - are you? I ... | |

| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @richdirector Forgot the other piece: The 590 is on my radar - and I think you're right! The 507or 9 would likely have the same, but there seems to be some magic to class A and Tannoy. Accuphase reviews as more my sonic palate, but the well known ... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @richdirector Maybe the Arden/s 93dB sensitivity/20wpc minimum reco vs. 91dB/30wpc holds the answer there. The Leben is 32wpc class a/b while the Luxman in class a has much more current. I don't have any experience with class a power beyond the fi... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @pani That is right on point for me! Thank you so much for all that clarity and clarification!! The Rogue may be the ticket. I'm also looking seriously at the XA25, but the 'hyperdynamics' is exactly my concern - I was/am thinking/imagining some t... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? ALL of that said, maybe I should have given the Tannoy more that 150-200 hours? They sure do take their time.... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? Ok, confession time. I don't really miss the Leben! It's a beautiful thing, lovely to behold and I have a deep appreciation for it. In the end, though, I think I'm not a tube amp enthusiast - a tube preamp with ss amp is my wheelhouse. So, there i... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? Well, you guys are heaping onto my seller's remorse! I sold it to a very good home and we're both happy with it. The Leben is a beautiful piece and I may regret it down the line, but am excited for new possibilities. Maybe an Accuphase integrated! | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @cd318 that's it! I'd be curious if you (or anyone else) might have experienced their DAC not driving their Leben CS600... | |
| Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5? @russ69 I have the same thought - I'm super curious if anyone else has had a similar experience, but I also know that the Tannoy can be more power hungry than their specs might suggest. |
