| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? KzhtooI haven't done anything as I have been very busy with other things. How about you ?CHuck | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel Unjc Good Decision IMO as those speakers love power and can sound very good when feed properly. Good Luck and keep us informed with what you end up with ..Chuck | |
| New preamp experience Components from the same manufacturer IMO are usually your best option for getting the most out of each component at least in my experience. I believe that when manufacturers design and build their products they do so with the intent that they go ... | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers Then the INT-30A should work well for you . Good Luck | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers The INT-30A is a wonderful amp and a great match with the Focals. But depending on what you listen to and how loud it may not be enough power. | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid Well I think the only way to satisfy my curiosity is to try his components in my system. | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Great write up and your comments concerning the differences between the XA series of amplifiers emulates what Pass has explained to me. Unfortunately I have a wife who isn't very understanding of this hobby so I think a pair of XA100.5's are out o... | |

| Another audio dealer closes his shop I think two channel audio is a shrinking market and the higher end manufacturers need to charge more for their products to cover costs and make a profit. And as costs go up you push even more out of the market place. Ten Thousand dollar amps, pre-... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel I might ad that the problem with these speakers is that you can buy them for the price of a used chevy but you need ferrari electronics to drive them to sound their best. | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel I owned those speakers and you need Power to get them to sound their best. I used a conrad johnson premier 350 ss amp and it did a good job. I started out with a conrad johnson 70 wpc tubed premier 11a. And while it did an excellent job with the m... | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid I would certainly prefer the Herron because of their size as they will easily fit in my cabinet or behind my speakers. But they must first sound great and given that I only have experience with the Pass SS INT-30 and that sounded fantastic except ... |
