@hilde45 What ended up happening when you got the Rhythmic Sub in?

Spendor Classic 1/2
Reviving this old thread. Did anyone get a chance to listen to the Classic 1/2 or 100? 
Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
@audiofound Excellent - thanks for the feedback! 
Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7
@reverendofpork What amp were you using before? Glad to hear the XA30.8 is working well for you. I've seen a lot of people using Pass class A with Spendor D7s with good success. I'm likely going to go that way too...or a VTL IT-85 and save some ch... 
Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I have been checking Reno HIFI inventory and know they are the best Pass Labs dealer near me. If I get one, it will most likely be from there. I will get in touch with them and see what they say. 
Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7

Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe

Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare?
I would also chime in that the Rainmaker is pretty low sensitivity and your room is pretty moderately sized. The Pass does make closer to 80 watts per channel (at 1% distortion) so it should be enough power, but the only way to know is to try it.

@avanti1960 Did you get rid of the Rogue Stereo 100, or swapping back in forth for a different flavor? 
Need preamp recommendation
I agree that the LTA preamps are enticing. I personally would want the one below. I've read that it can sound a bit lean so matching with amplifier is key. https://www.lineartubeaudio.com/products/microzotl-preamplifier  
Need preamp recommendation
What power amp do you have?What features do you need from a preamp? I've been looking at preamps extensively as well in that price range. I have been curious to see what tubes would do in the chain to go along with a SS power amp.These three are o...
