congrats Pwhinson.  sounds like you hit a home run with the Pass amp. Professor:  do you have a small stereo shop in your home.   that is a heck of a speaker collection.

Dan:  I certainly understand about your speakers starting to morph.   mine were actually pretty bad the first night i heard them but now they are fantastically good. Jeff Joseph speakers are great and I am adding Magico because I liked what I hea...

i have played with it over the years and found sitting with my ear about 4" below the tweeter and about 7.5'-8' away  from the drivers works best

i thought the 2.4's were fantastic and were a big improvement over the 2.2's.   but every time i moved up (2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.7) in the 2 series the changes were always dramatic.

hi Jafant,   truthfully i buy direct from PS but Taylor is only about 30 minutes from my home.   he is who i got my 2.7's from back in 2014.  of course the 3.7's  came from Rob at CST.  I have not been to Goldprint since i got the 2.7's and i know...

all i can say is that i have zero problems driving my current 3.7's and the recently departed 2.7's.  specs do not always give us the entire picture. You can bet that when Bascom H King designs a high end amp,  it will work with almost any fine sp...

Jafant:   I am in Greensboro NC for what that is worth  as you mentioned the southeast.

thank you.   I really cannot emphasize enough how much the new P15 power plant transformed my system.   As i posted in my review on their website: "I have not heard my system with the BHK mono blocks (have the BHK 250), so what I am going to say ...

Jafant,   i may be wrong but i think it was sonic frontiers but do not hold me to that.  i have to say that the BHK amp really gives me the best of both worlds.  liquid and romantic like tubes,  but also very detailed.  they have voiced it well.

Tom,  Arnie Nudell sold his big and tube hungry amps ( I believe Sonic Frontiers) for these amps.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6mvhO8fVPs&t=586s

You Go Tom.  thank you

A True Gamechanger: The New Power Plants from PS Audio
celander:  they have improved them so much it is scary.  I have owned four power plants over the years (PPP,  P5, P10, P15) and never has one made the difference that the P15 has.  If i was building a new and smaller system on a budget,  I would s...
