| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? MusicfanIgnore that ad. M545s are still my speakers. Ok, I am glad you and Russ69 think that I can get by with smaller tube amps. I don't want to use a subwoofer as my room with the audio rack is pretty clustered already. What amps do people sugg... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? I am leaning toward keeping Soundlabs and changing to a tube amp. Any tube amp recommendations for a small room? I have a great tube preamp in BAT Rex 2. I would like a top quality amp-preferably used. Do others agree with russ69 that >80W woul... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? Atmasphere, I know your amps are very popular with Soundlabs and your explanation makes a lot of sense. How does class A fit into the sound quality equation for AS amps? Some people say for tubes, class A doesn't make that much difference- the way... | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? yyzsantabarbaraWhy did you chose Thiel rather than others for that room? I already ordered GIK panels. | |
| What is the best audiophile speaker for a tiny square room? fuzztoneWhich Class D and which ESL are you using? | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps Oh, I haven't checked the heat sink. Last time I got inconsistent results. But, after constant idle and then playing for 3 hours, the top and front plate reach around 110-115 F and stays there. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps RayOne option I was thinking is to take out the expensive tube BAT Rex2 preamp and connect Lumin X1 streamer/dac directly to a high gain tube amp, using the LEEDH volume control on X1. However, I found with my Pass X250.8, which has gain of 26, so... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps Yes, I am running BAT rex2 tube preamp with my Pass Labs. It sounds better with it than without it when I go direct from Lumin X1 streamer/dac which has outstanding LEEDH volume control. One option is to get rid of rex2/Pass and go directly from L... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I leave my Pass amp on all the time now and still warm up for a couple of hours to sound GREAT. But, I still hear sibilance in Diana Krall's tracks and some others. As I get older, this sibilance thing bothers me more and more. At my volume of pla... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps decooney,Thanks for the info. I will look into it. Since last night, I left my X250.8 on. This afternoon, it started sounding good around 2 hr mark. Less sibilance and harshness. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps Sound labs are not bi ampable. Anyone have experience with high end D class amp?I know they are generally poo pooed, but who knows-may be there has been sufficient progress recently. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I am very surprised that ZOTL 40 is powerful enough to drive Maggies. For Soundlab panel speakers, they recommend >200 W, like Atma-Sphere MA-2. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps @azarya12345. Your Vitus runs class A up to 25W. Doesn't it generate a lot of heat if you leave it on all the time on idle? | |

| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I tried to speed up the warm up process by putting a towel over the amp. This is what Kent English at Pass does before shows. It does get the temperature up much quicker. However, it still took another 2 hr of music playing to sound GREAT. Kent th... |
