| Pass labs xa25 amp and BW 804 d3? B&W says 50 wpc minimum, the amp is 25 wpc. So, I rather doubt it will play anything but softly before clipping.Though I know Pass has a rugged build, why push it?B | |
| Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection It is not ideal, but you can use the amp with a 15 amp line via a plug adapter. As long as you don't crank it up, you should have no problems.If the breaker trips, then you'll probably have to get your lines upgraded, which isn't a big deal- In fa... | |

| SVS speakers (non-sub)? I would go for the Quatro's if I had the money, but my Treo's give me everything I want. I would only consider the Five's if I had a huge room.B | |
| SVS speakers (non-sub)? Theil was at the top when Mr. Theil was alive. After that, not as much, but still very good, better than SVS, in my opinion.B | |
