| Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles A friend of mine has the same Triangles. They are in a smaller room than yours, but still of good size. Cables are APO. His CDP is an ?Electrocompanient?. His amp is an old model Levinson, as is the pre. Like you, Paul, I am sensitive to glare and... | |
| Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350? According to the Levinson owner that has my Pass X, the Pass opens up new inner detail. | |
| Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350? I have never heard a sober review of the Krell family where it does not say you can't beat it's grip on the bass drivers, AND say it has a bit of the strained treble that can result in listener fatigue. The Pass lacks the Krell's bass death grip, ... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? Ferrari, Did you see Roma's post (Should I sell my Diva?) Could it be there is a dichotomy in perception when it comes to bass response? Shall we say, hi-fi bass, found only in audio, epitomized by truck bed mounted mega woofers, versus natural ba... | |
| McCormack vs. Pass Labs Yeah but... After you spend the extra dough for the revisions you've surpassed the cost of a used X-150. What's the sense in that? The beauty of the Pass is that it is the best it can be right out of the box. There is no such thing as Pass amp upg... | |
| Anybody using Wilsons or Soundlabs with Pass Labs? Wow! what a lot of interesting responses. I would have never guessed the Aleph models could give satisfactory service on the big speakers. | |
| Good Match for B&W 802's and Pass Labs X650 I hear you Gracebarker, sorry about the hoof in mouth. I don't know how I stay married. Like you, I bought an X 600 partly because it was a deal I couldn't refuse. It was a practical buy to, as I need the monsters to drive the infamous 1 ohm Apoge... | |
| Good Match for B&W 802's and Pass Labs X650 Krell + Pass? kripes!!! How can you stand it??? If you feel a need to improve a wounded playback with cables, that is a clear sign your principle electronic units are not in order. Granted, the B&W 802 is not the last word in transparency, but... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? Dennis - listen to Tubegroover.I have a superb room that allows the magic of great electrostats to fully manifest. I'm presently setting up the infamous Apogee Scintilla as my final music statement. No box speaker, Merlin or otherwise, can match t... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Apogee Scintilla. The first time I heard one I was convinced I was hearing the real thing hidden away. I have never heard a more convincing speaker. I was awe struck. | |
| What active preamp... Pass Labs Aleph P can be had in your price range. This is a really cool preamp, $4000 new, Stereophile class A. It gives you a choice between passive and any amount of gain you want to induce. I use it in it's passive mode most of the time. Someti... | |
| What is "critical listening"? Any amplified system begs to be critiqued, be it a "live" rock concert, or second bedroom system. I don't know how many miced events where I had to plug my ears, or back away. Never, thankfully, have I witnessed a home event with such atrocious so... | |
| Manley 440 monos to drive low impedance ribbons? How long have you had your Scintillas? | |
| Manley 440 monos to drive low impedance ribbons? John, bro, Do you have the Scinnies now? Mine will show up within two months (that's the price I pay for fool proof shipping). I saw your post on our Apogee site. Apparently nobody has used the combo, thus no answer. I'll be trying the Pass X600 b... | |
| OK, best speakers for 2500 USED...... I'll be the first to pitch for planars and ribbons... If you want the singer in the room with you. I am extremely partial to the Apogees. The Diva will cost you a grand less than you plan. The Duetta about a third. With the BAT plus an Apogee you ... |
