Pass Labs X-600 Vs. Levinson 33Hs
I like them both. You should be comparing the 33 and the X600 due to the power. 
24/96 Format
The question as I see it might be regarding CDs that say recorded or remastered using 24/96. These are CDs and not DVDs ....right? So, is the 24/96 format that is being used, for example, by RCA in their HP releases decodable by anything at all in... 
Wilson v Sonus Faber
Carl-eber... tell us what you really think. Better yet tell us what you drive. The Sonus Amati Homage is a wonderful speaker, but I tend to like the Wilson Watt Puppys for my taste and electronics. Also, much better resale.

Revel,salon vs B&W Nautilus
Not even close... B&W Nautilus - Big and heavy looking and heavy sounding.. Muddy bass and you need a crane to bring them in the house. I found them to be terrible. I would rather listen to the stereo in my car. If you are married don't even t... 
Sunfire Amps
Very disappointing. I compared side by side against McCormack DNA-1 and the McCormack blew it away. The Sunfire was incredibly annoying to listen to, shrilly highs and had no substantial bottom. The DNA was warm and airy and beautifully natural so...
