| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss unsound ^i believe Nelson Pass did make a Class D amp; I also seem to remember he wasn’t encouraged to do it again. Judging by this, I think your right, from God himself. Nelson Pass Passlabs"Does a $10 bottle of wine compete with a $100 bottle?... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? As you know, bridging can potentially increase power capability into 8 ohms by 4x Just not to confuse others "power" is "wattage" only in this case, current is halved.And yes Al I agree, Pass amp by a long way. Cheers George | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? almarg I believe that the Odyssey Stratos monos are not bridged Al have a close look at my first post links to the "Stratos stereo" and then the "Stratos mono", and I’ll see if I can get some better shots if you still can’t see it.This is better ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? nothing wrong with a bridged amplifier if done properly! Really? then please show how to bridge this common simple Nelson Pass Threshold S300 amp "properly" so it’s just as good as the stereo version. https://imgur.com/we3VoER | |

| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? I actually owned a pair of Odyssey Audio Kahrtargo monoblocks and found they were horrible in my system. It could have had something to do with the output/ input impedance mismatch between my preamp and amps. It was because of this, your Revel... | |
| Network Transport vs. CD Transport Audio streaming. It’s a good place to find new music, or provide background, other than that? Meh. I prefer the simplicity of physical media.Agree, good way to look at it. Then go and buy the most uncompressed (most green boxes) CD version of it h... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok Overall, the order is: via pre 100, pre 106, then direct 106 (hi). Sound maybe like bit stripping to me, how much higher than 106 can your MSB go? If this is the case leave the MSB where it sounds the best direct, and use a good passive preamp ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? I just wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Odyssey. I would not have dismissed so quickly, if it were just a stereo version and not bridged into mono, stereo amps. But still would have given the Pass the nod.Cheers George | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? whatsmyname OP You make what could be a good stereo amp into a mediocre mono amp by bridging the two stereo channels together to make a mono.Yes you gain a lot more watts, but everything else that makes for a good amp takes a hit.Current abilit... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? whatsmyname Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? No contest, Pass X150.5 as it's it's not a bridged amp, like the Stratos mono's areStratos Stereo http://www.odysseyaudio.com/pictures/amp-stratos-st-xt.jpgStratos Mono https://img.usaudiomart.... | |
| More Power or use subwoofer to boost bass for music xcool OP Just found proper test on the A31 as I thought not much current ability into low impedances. The 4ohm wattage should be a lot higher, and they didn’t do the 2ohm as it would have been trouble (bang maybe). Not the amp for these speakers. ... | |
| Ideal amp for B&W matrix 800 vegasears Your 801’s are a totally different impedance and - phase angle to the OP’s Matrix 800’s, his are far more difficult to drive, compare the graphs below 300hz, actually everywhere.https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/bwll801fig01... |
