The amp I am really looking at in the used market is the pass X250.8.  I'm short a little cash and really wanted to only spend 3k but you get what you pay for

I do have a crown studio reference II that has a dampening factor of 20,000.  Never considered it because it is not a real soothing amp.  It has raw power and I have used on home theater subs in the past.  This amp is monster for power and it will...

I have a mint pair of SCIVA's and have an opportunity to buy some SCV's.  Obviously I have to sale the ones I have and I want to talk to someone that knows both speakers and can give me good advice.

I have checked with Greg at classic thorens and he will help but it will take me making a couple trips and he is a good 3 hour drive each way.  That is 4 trips with drop off and going back to pickup.  Does anyone know anyone near Atlanta?  That is...

I will give Greg a call.  I know everyone thinks this should be no big deal to setup.  I had the unit built over two years ago from a guy in PA.  It is a slate plinth with a lenco idler drive setup,  with an audiomods series V tonearm with ART 9 c... 
Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland
I do appreciate all the great info.  Yes I do need to swap amps and run an A/B test.  I have had some hands on experience with rebuilding a X-over with good components.  My infinity RS 4.5s needed a rebuild and I had them done by Soniccraft and OM...

That is very interesting that the ARC performed so well with it...  I would have thought my citation II's bridged would have performed closely.  I guess I need to do some swapping around to see.

Funny you mention the ampzilla...  I have two Sumo 9 s that needs work.  I bought them years back because that amp has a following and I wanted to see what the class A amp sounded like with my lascalas.  I also have to two classe DR8s that need so... 
Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland

Dunlavy SCIVA'S... Mine sound bland
Thanks for the info.  I have a pass labs x250 in another room that power my infinity RS 4.5's.  I need to move this amp over and see what the results are. What is the ideal amp in the used market for the Dunlavy's??
