| Has anyone heard the Burwen Bobcat system According to a mutual friend, Mark Levinson is more than a little bit insane, but I would say this product has taken his schtick to a new level of audacity.Not sure it ever really existed or found a market, so it may be tough to find consumer revi... | |

| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Boa2Now I am a little confused.Understanding that it is always difficult to describe sound, I don't put:"dry, incisive, neutral" or in the words of Tboooe"clinical and sterile"in the same family as "liquid", palpable,warm musical, natural, wonderf... | |

| Morph The Cat : Revisited Danlib1I do agree that Godwhacker was an instant classic.And dont get me wrong, I would still say I am a huge fan.But most of the recent stuff does seem to lack some evolutionary dimension which has been a disappointment. | |
| Morph The Cat : Revisited BobIt is possible that WE have changed, but I was relieved to read your comments.Steely Dan played a huge role in the development of my audio obsession, as Peg was a new single on the radio and I listened to Aja through Pioneer headphones through ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier TeajayVery tempting! So I will check them out....Any idea how my Mark Levinson 23.5 might best fit into this scheme?Or Threshold below and Pass above is the ULTIMATE?Have also thought about the 600's for bass and tubes on top, but of course that i... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier TeajayJust reviewing your notes and system - wow - very nice. I am jealous.Would you say the Thresholds and not the newer Pass Labs are the amp of choice for BASS in the maggies??Because biamping is not out of the question. Then of course, I can a... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier GuidocoronaOn reflection, I need to up the ante here...I think these amps are so gorgeous that 2 of them is more than twice as good as just one.So what's the best deal on monoblocks? | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier TeajayYes, the "sweet spot" on the performance to cost curve (used) is exactly what I was wondering about.Guidocorona - I have Tympani IVa's which probably need more power than 1.6's but dont know how they would compare with the 20's.I really do l... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Sorry to digress just a bit....but could anyone please suggest - for the first time Pass owner - which Pass Labs model might offer the best point on the value curve? With sufficient power for Maggies?Teajay, nice review. | |
| Dialing In Separate Bass Units for Best Response Dewald thank you - You have described with more detail what I was wondering about - what you suggest is "phase coherency"Now that makes intuitive sense to me and in fact I was wondering about certain speaker designs like the Dahlquist DQ 10 where ... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 : Latest driver substitutes?? HPimsI would also check on ebay for the bigger, original stands. There were a vast improvement in both looks and sound.The DQ1W woofer and matching crossover are also worth finding.Personally, I wouldnt tweak them too much from stock, unless I was... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-10 : Latest driver substitutes?? The DQ - 10 is another great example of how audio really hasn't progressed very much in 25 or 30 years.If you can get these up to perfect working order, and well placed with some good amps, you should be very happy.I would google around as there i... |
