| Living room system: class A or AB amps? Turn on the AC and enjoy the music. Those are quite nice speakers that justify good amplification at big cost. Heat may be hard to avoid and Class D may not sound right. | |
| An old favorite, not played for some time, and just pulled out..still superb This has been happening for a year since I rekindled my setup and got a streaming service!! Recently, it has been Curtis Mayfield "Superfly". Great sounding production also. Also listened to Glen Miller "In the Digital Mood" Really fun stuff. ... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album I like Tool "Laterallus" It is much easier to follow after you see them do the album in it's entirety. I could repeat many others and it makes me want to revisit many of the albums here. Great topic and great answers | |
| How old are you? Oh the days when, in my humble 100,000 size town had dealers for Magnaplaner, Quattre, Ampzilla, Carver, Audio Research, Classe, B&W, Rotel to name a few. Then there was a 20 year time lapse. Now i am a Rennaissance(sp) Man with a new setup ... | |

| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab @dtximages. Most satisfying system I ever heard: Klipschorns with an old Accuphase receiver. Such an effortless beautiful sound. | |
| Amplifier warm up The Pass XA25 uses 240 watts at on/standby. I can't see $20-35 a month in extra power usage. I usually turn it on ahead of time and it does sound better after warm up. Some components need to get to 50C to sound right. | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound Awesome, we all like our audio nirvana. I have not heard ML. Since you mentioned rap music and you have such a large room. What SPL do you listen at?You could get a nice DAC from 500-2000 but you mentioned very good imaging and if you feel it i... | |
| Internet radio for Luddites A music service like Amazon, Spotify or whatever has 60 million songs to listen to. Jazz all day, never hear the same song. A streamer setup or Bluetooth speakers connected to the computer.. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 The 30.8 is a 94 lb monster. It may be rated for 30 W Class A but puts out much more power if needed. It will drive your speakers with ease. | |
| Will 12 inch subwoofer be enough for an 18x20 room (with 10 ft cielings) I am lucky. I have a dedicated room. I was very impressed by room treatments improving my bass. I have 2-10" subs. I don't think size matters as much as being able to have multiples and treatment. It helps every aspect of the music. I know, ... | |

| which speaker to buy I have Crites speakers(similar to Cornwall). I also have subs. I can play this so loud you will cry uncle and clarity is still there. Kick drums have serious impact and will scare you if not ready. Yet this system will play vocal and acoustic reco... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe They had issues with the protection circuit and firmware. As far as build quality goes, they put a 5 yr warranty on it. That is higher than many. | |
| How many AudiogoNers are amateur chefs? I have been cooking since I was a kid. I also had 3 kid athletes who used to eat me out of house and home. Lately, as in the last 5 years, I have been messing around with BBQ. I have developed my own sauces and rubs. I also cook my own ver... |
