| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 jw,Sometimes I think the XA25 sounded better than the INT. I never had thetwo at the same time. The INT is still a very good product and I am happy with it. AVA has a new Mono Block amp that a buddy of mineloves better than Pass with his ML CLXs. | |

| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS As I mentioned long ago, certain makers are covered with the invisibility cloak by the Admin here. If you missed that, wake up! | |
| Active VS Passive speakers and, specifically, Elac Navis ARB51 as the active speaker? As I hear them the Elac sounds best (dual concentric design)and it can be had as a passive in the newer reference uni modelfor $1.1k as I recall. | |

I have owned multiple Klipsch speakers, heard severalTektons. You seem to be putting together what will be a great systemso if you make an error I am betting it ... | |

| Does listening to music increase your IQ? Everyone's hearing takes a dive as they age. Same with the mental processing. Sounds like you may just need another moment or two to continue overthink this question. | |
| Streamer/DAC+integrated vs All in one? Buying a decent Int. Amp/DAC/Streamer makes a lot of sense to get started. Buy brands in demand so if decide to trade up people will want your gear. Hence I suggest Hegel. I missed your budget but Hegel goes from $2k-$10k as I recall.If you stream... | |
