What Class A is better? SUGDEN FPA-4 or PASS LABS XA-25
I’ve owned both, multiple pieces. I like Pass Labs allot but ultimately preferred the Sugden iA4 Masterclass - which I did not think would be the case. It’s insanely good. Addictive. I’ve owned allot of gear and I think the Sugden is great gear wi... 
Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
Interesting. I've always found Mcintosh to be bright and thin but recently heard the C2700 with a MC462 on JBL 4349's and it was amazing. The newest generation of Mac gear sounds phenomenal... when paired properly. I heard that same MC462 run with... 
JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
JBL 4349 with Line Magnetic 845-Premium... incredible. 
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
Line Magnetic LM-845 Premium ... it's a stunner. 
Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated or Separates?
Love my Line Magnetic 845-Premium. Love it. 30 WPC driving a pair of JBL 4365s. I haven't heard their other pieces but I would imagine they sound great. I've had Primaluna separates in the past and they sounded great - super reliable and it was fu... 
JBL 4349 opinions?
@joeinidNo problem at all - I had a Luxman 590 AXII hooked up to my 4429s (only 30 watts I think) it was devine. One of my fave setups - enjoy the quest!!!! 
JBL 4349 opinions?
@joeinidSo I’ve had the 4367, 4365, 4429 and now own the 4349 - I also have the Klipsch Corwall 4’s and had Heresy 4’s, I love the klipsch and the 4’s are an enormous upgrade to the 3’s - smoother sweeter and fuller. I don’t find them fatiguing at... 
Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5
Ive owned a Pass int-250, mc9000 and a luxman... The pass was the best when it came to overall sound. I liked the Ma9000 next and the Luxman 509x was crap. Sounded like cheap Yamaha gear to me. I hate the way Pass gear looks (great build but just ... 
Q for any Luxman L-509X owners
I just ditched my Mcintosh ma9000 and traded it for a Luxman 509x... Wow. Just wow. So much more stage and passion then the ma9000. Macs are pretty as hell but this Luxman 509x really performs beautifully. Im driving JBL 4429's and it's really mak... 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Have you considered any of the Sonus Faber gear? I have a pair of the Venere 3.0 and a pair of the Venere S. Currently driving them through Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP power amps and I absolutely love the sound. Incredibly full, especially with ... 
Speakers sonically similar to Sonus Faber?
Look for a pair of the 3.0 used - love mine. Ive owned a decent amount of speakers and although the fabers lack a wee bit of bass it makes up for it in non-fatigueing sound and warm detailed demeanor. On the flip side I also own a pair of the Vene...
