| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) Hi @ddafoe I don’t doubt the 740P / X250.8 sounds special based on past experience but I actually never heard the 740P in my set up so I can’t definitively comment. .. Still, Sim knows what they are doing when it comes to preamps and I keep saying... | |

| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Excellent, thank you @audiorusty. Very interesting and coincidental!btw, I suggested a friend of mine get 2 SB4000 into his system...he did absolutely loves them.Wondering if you are still running the same configuration in your system? And that ... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) @llkmi Simaudio Moon P8. Slightly warmer but it edged out. It was very hard to compare..the XP22 was excellent, airy, detailed, full of magical fidelity. The Moon just started whispering to the ear however . It was an unbelievable effect in the ro... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Hi @audiozenology - I tried having the revels set up as part of the bass array first, it was the cheaper option. After that, when I set the system into my current configuration, the sound was more 'together', and my heart beat lower. My audioph... | |

Perhaps the summarized list may help others reading the thread:TAD RefVivid Kaya S12 - triedVimbeg Amea KE... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Hmm.. and non harsh smack in the face?... I like that that in my music :)Basically, yes, I heard the Willson in many different reincarnations for as long as I can remember. I love all of their speakers. But I guess to summarize my objective... it... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs @verdantaudio thanks for the pointer. Rhapsody is a cool place to visit | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Hi @soix , Thanks!Definitely happy to try more sophisticated room corrections although I have spent some time on that already. I’ll read about the DSpeaker… was not aware of this product. Thank you for pointer. Again, I am enjoying the set up righ... | |
| Best speakers out there for Midrange and Highs Thank you for your recommendations. I have been thinking abut TAD CR1 and always had Raidho on the radar. The Wilson-Benesh and Kaiser Chiara both look awfully interesting but would need to hear them! I am very well acquainted with practically all... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) Hi @llkmi Looks like you have an excellent dilemma! These are all wonderful instruments. I have not heard the XP20 in my system so I can not comment but I very much enjoyed the XP22 when I had it :). Important to use XLR connections though. P... | |
| Integrated for Focal Electra 1028 Be Hi, The Pass Integrated 150, 60 or 250 will be good. Also consider Simaudio Moon 600i or 700i. Or Simaudio Moon i7 on used market (biggest bang for your buck- really good if you can find one).Best of luck | |

| Better Subwoofer for 2 channel Music: Focal Utopia Sub or JL Fathom f113 These are all great response. thank you. I surmised a couple of things..1) To perhaps focus on REL or JL but its a bit harder for me to get ahold of a REL2)The RCA hookups from preamp is fine.3) That perhaps two smaller 'good quality' subs may be ... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp (Pass, ARC, BAT, Sim, PS Audio) The X250.8 is indeed excellent and its amazing how hard it is to upgrade from it, even by the more expensive Pass amps in the same .8 line up. Feels like its Pass' sweet-spot in that line.With regard to the XP22, I got an already broken-in unit, ... |
