| Best bookshelf speakers From what I’ve read, and in an email from Mads, they require at least 300 hours breakin and need some power. | |
| Buchardt S400s Yes, I think you can find something better suited to the Buchardts. I’d be curious about the Nuforce STA200, but you would need a preamp, possibly tubed. The Nuforce and a Schiit Freya would come in under a thousand dollars. Just a thought. | |
| Buchardt S400s I’ve ordered a pair and will be interested in any comments on this, but my guess is they’re too new for people to have much experience. I’d imagine at least 150 watts per channel would suffice. | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? I didn’t notice a significant difference without the pre (MZ2 from linear tube audio). It sounds very good without, maybe a little richer, wetter, with the DSJr. I’m looking forward to the new Snowmass update from PS Audio. | |
| Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators? I, also, have a pair os s400’s on order, and one of the main reasons is that ive enjoyed a pair of Vanatoo’s with passive radiators. Very excited about the Buchardts! | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? I’m currently using xlr from my PS Audio DSJr., but have also usrd LTA Microzotl into xa30.8 with single ended cables. Both work well, both sound great. | |
| Amp for LS50 Another vote for the Hegel 160 mentioned above. I’ve been very happy with this combo. Quality amp! | |
| What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8? The xa30.8 has no trouble whatsoever driving my Treo CT’s. I’ve never even seen the meter move though I don’t play music too loud. It sounds pretty incredible. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT My Treo CT’s are amp agnostic, playing well with many amps. I do believe they appreciate a lively amp and my Hegel 160 is a little too gentlemanly, whereas the Job Integrated makes them sparkle. The Pass 30.8 is somewhere between the two and so ... | |
| New owner of totem wind Might be interested in the Vandy subs. What part of the Country are you in? | |
| Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8 I’m running Treo CT’s with a xa30.8 and they sound fantastic! I don’t think you would be disappointed with either integrated. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers @Mrdon, I’m very interested in your opinion of the Burhardt’s. Please report back after breakin. Thinking about the S-300’s myself. | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Another Treo CT owner here. I’ve used them on the long and short walls and find they work really well on either. Rake angle is important, and they appreciate an amp that has some power, but still sounded great with my small tube amp. I find bas... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 If you go with the Hegel, I believe it has an ethernet input which will allow you to stream Tidal, etc., directly to the DAC via Airplay. This can be done from a PC with Windows, or, of course, via ipad or iphone. My H160 allows this, and the so... | |
| Suggestions for Full Range Speakers up to 10K A vote for the Vandersteen Treo CT's. I'm a proud owner, and love these speakers more and more as time goes on. Fairly compact too. |
