| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Boa, The problem with the Andra IIs... very hard to find on the used market. Anyone heard Talon matched up with Pass gear?Greg | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Apparently Jack Nickelson(Cdma)didn't understand this thread or is lost without a purpose.This thread also ended up in a Wine tasting room with some none related commentary, "dry and airy with a lingering analytical nose"!Tboooe,Thanks for the hea... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Duke, I do not want to limit my experience to what I'm listening to now. Moving up from a Pass X-350 to the XA-160s is a large leap. Will my current setup do them justice? I have never heard true full range speakers in my room and I do not want to... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Raul,I understand your what you are saying. I do not think you understand my point... It is the room and the recording that makes the difference. Setting my Rels up to 80 hertz, in my room.... I could surf on the low level wave created by my room ... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Thank you all for your thoughts and insights. I will be keeping my Virgos and Rel Subs no matter what I purchase in the a full range speaker. My short list: Audio Physic Avante III, Wilson Watt 7s or possibly B&W 802Ds.To RaulI believe it is p... | |
| Are the Audio Physic Virgo II's ageing well? G goodwin,The original Virgos are 10 years old. The IIs are 6 or 7 years old. Mine were manufactured in 2002. I drive them with Pass Labs X-350 Amp & X-1 Pre. I'm 52 and listen to some old Rock, Led Zeppelin,Jethro Tull,etc. at concert SPLs. T... | |
| Sonus Faber Extrema vs. Guarneri Rubinken,They run $5500-$4000. You are right ,they are a rare find on the used market. I think there is a pair in Europe for sale on the gon. I have never heard the Guarneri.(but would love to) In 1993 I heard the Extremas in Sacramento... they ar... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Irish65,I would upgrade to X-600s or the X-350.5 in a heartbeat! About the same price point used. I'd like to know how many of our members have A/B those amps or owned them both. I was just telling mitch4t, who has 4 X-600s and a X-0.2 on the gon.... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Irish65Nelson Pass said he thought the X-600 was the best in the series, confirmed by many owners of the X-series. But Nelson Pass never said the 250 outdid the 350. I think the 250 could matchup better in some systems & rooms...but not in mos... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Guidocorona, Irish65,In a recent conversation with Peter Perkins of Pass Labs They feel the .05 an XA series get better with size or power, I don't know how else I can say it. Nelson Pass did say in the past that the X-600 was the sweet spot of th... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Iris65... Peter would never endorse an amp in order of power. Nelson Pass himself said the 600 was the sweet spot in the X-series. Nelson Pass has also stated his new X.5 series and XA series just gets better with output! | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans I also thought the X-150 sounded better than the X-250.The X-350 runs in class A for the first 50 watts. At most listening levels I'm in class A with my 350. I believe the 250 is rated 25 or 30 watts class A. Chalk it up to equipment senergy and p... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans I am a Pass Labs fan. I'm happy to hear of a positive, even glowing review from Mr.Dewulf on the .5 series. But his review giving the nod to the X-250 over the X-350...I have to wonder if he had a case of that nasty wax buildup! | |
| 2 subwoofer??? I run two Rel Storm IIIs with my Audio Physic Virgo IIs. I ran a test CD to set up my Cross over point on my Rels. I found in my large room my Virgos roll off at about approx 38 Hz. Higher than the 34 Hz rating. My Rels at about approx 22-24 Hz. A... | |
| Pass Labs users. Next upgrade? I took 9rw's advice. I bought a refurbed Pass Labs X-1 from Reno Hifi. It's dead quite, with much more finess, a huge sound stage! My highs are less bright and more natural. The base response is also tighter... go figure. Anyone looking for a Adco... |
