| Pass Labs A/B amps vs Class A amp and Actual Power Stickman51, I would suggest having at least mininumly a foot and a half off the side walls. You could always put the Ribbon tweeters on the inside to avoid sidewall distortion. The space between the 20.1's should at least be five to six feet apart... | |

| Pass Labs A/B amps vs Class A amp and Actual Power I have had both amps/monoblocks in my system driving my biamped 20's. I loved the 350.5, until I heard the XA-100's and now have the XA-60.5's which sound beautiful in my system. So, pure power/grunt, is not the issue, in my opinion, the 60.5's wi... | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity CF-080 Preamplifier It is not the most important thing by any means, but the description of the NOS Mullard 12AU7's long plate square getters, square was left out. I just put in back in, so it will make sense now. | |

| Review: Running Springs Audio Dmitri AC filter Hi Billeames, I have heard what the Powercell 10se did in a very good friend's system.

| Classe 350 vs Pass Labs X600.5 It's been a very long time since I had auditioned the Classe 350, for their time they were very nice amps. Smooth and warm with a good degree of clarity and a good bottom end. However, the Pass Labs X.5 series, including the 600.5's, is in another... | |

| Joule Electra LA-450ME Guma15, congrats on your LA-450ME preamp. It is hard to put in analytical/objective terms when a piece of gear just sounds more "organic/musical" and lets you just relax and enjoy the music. Good job at trying to convey this experience.Since you d... | |
