I feel like the Revels could use more air. Things like triangles, bells etc. are there but they aren't as sweet as the other speakers I mentioned.

Well I got the pass preamp and to me it sounds a bit thin on the bottom compared to no preamp. The vocals aren't as warm and there is not as much Bass. Crap.

I just bid on a Pass Labs X-2.5. Did I do a bad thing?
