Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers
Mcpherson, yes the Focals still sound bright and harsh. I have around 250 hours on the MW so far. I'm hoping the brightness settles down when I reach 400-500 hours. I'll keep you updated.

I have around 150 hours on the unit and it's still opening up. I really enjoy the larger soundstage than I had with my other amps (Pass INT-150 and Sim I-7). The Sim sounded very controlled and tight but less dimensional and dry. There is one thin...

It's been some time since I last wrote in this thread and at the time I was awaiting for the Pass INT-150 to be delivered. I considered selling my HT system and going back to 2 channel but decided to keep the HT system and use the Pass for the fro... 
French Speakers?

Thanks for the technical info. The amount of heat generated is a bite too much for me so I'll stick with class AB amps.

Thanks guys. This is the kind of info I needed and I will give Pass a call. Bryon- You stated you owned the XA30.5 along with 1027be. What was your impression of both together and did you try another amp with the Focals? I also read Pass equipment...

The sensitivity is 91db and the recommended power is 40 to 300w. Minimum ohms is stated at 3.5. 
Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers
Thanks for your responses. I'll looked into all your recommendations and do some more research. The Focals dip down below 3 ohms at some point and I'm wondering if the Pass has sufficient power at 30w.I may also consider separates since I will hav... 
Do glass shelves affect sound Quality?
Tmsorosk, I installed the herbie components and my first impressions are favorable. I listened to Fourplay and the bass sounded a little tighter and cleaner. I intend to listen to a variety of music and keep you posted.

Do glass shelves affect sound Quality?
Based on your responses, I ordered Herbies tenderfeet and supersonic stabilizers for all my equipment. As Rbrowne stated, Herbie's come with a 90 day trial so that's a no brainer. Thanks again, Ron
