| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? Tvad- don't normal tube preamps have high output impedance, and as you said Pass tends to have very low impedance---therefore, tube preamps *in general* aren't a great match with Pass? Fully balanced preamps tend to be different--as I've noticed t... | |
| McIntosh MA6300 or 6500? i would get one of the autoformer-based Mac integrateds, personally, if your budget can afford it. the 6600 is a great unit. | |
| BAT VK 300 SE Vs. CJ CA200 For Dyn Contour S3.4 CJ SS gear just isn't that valuable long term.I would try the BAT if the Pass didn't work for you. I had the BAT on C1s. | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? Tvad- then if he got the BAT and the bass issue was resolved, how was the muddy bass not from the amp? Just curious as I don't understand your comment---on your speakers in your room, things are obviously different. Perhaps he has a huge room, i d... | |
| Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000 i would try the Amarro 318 first. | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? i agree wtih Rtn1---the whole point of this amp is Class A 30 watts. the A/B headroom is pointless imo | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I don't get that paint surcharge---on Essence its 1200 bucks. And Soul is smaller than Essence, correct? | |
| Recommended Speaker for Triode Amp Which Triode amplifier did you purchase Kenny? | |
| wilson sophias to monitors i went from Sophias to Dyn C1s. In fact, your Bat 300xSE is excellent pairing for the Dyns. | |
| Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE vs. Contour 140 completely disagree---the 1.3SE was/is a spectaculur speaker that the Focus won't hold a candle too. just because the magnet is different doesn't mean anything.The 1.3SE has a better tweeter and woofer than any Focus series speaker. Call Dynaudio ... | |
| Tube amps for Dyn C1 and Sonos/HT? i think VTL 450s would be perfect on Dyn C1, but haven't tried the combo.Pass X250.5 was the best i ever had on my C1s. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? Just want to add I had a similar issue with Zu Definitions on bright top end as a result of a lean midrange---turned out it was a very poor match with my BAT integrated. I switched to a McIntosh and things fell right into place. It was very simila... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Cary sounds great with JM Lab/Focal....I've heard V12s, etc. on them many times and always a synergistic combination.I would probably look for a used V12 vs the newer 120S btw. | |
| Top ten tube preamps too bad---i don't think many folks are going to read reviews on a piece at 7500 then pony up double for it. of course i could be wrong. | |
| Top ten tube preamps I don't understand why the McCormack preamp went from 7500 to 15k. can someone clue us in?Thanks,KeithR |
