@wlutke  he should be working with his room first and also change amps. Obviously the Levinson isn't a good match plus it's much easier to change amps than speakers. If I were buying speakers and liked my amp,  I definitely would be trying to matc...

@ieales It’s the nature of the business. Many components are designed for looks / SPL and not accurate sound reproduction. And this is your opinion of Sonus Faber?

A dealer I went to about a year ago was using Sim Audio with Sonus Faber. Sounded very nice. The Nova 3 were what I went to audition but they didn't have the Nova 5. They did let me listen to the Cremonese.  Oh lord I was salivating lol.

Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ?
Sonically I wasn't crazy over the 150.8. Build quality is fantastic but overall the midrange was analytical and boring. The bass was very good and highs were also however,  I could never warm up to the amp. Was using with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s w...
