| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Cwlondon, I would not necessary say that the Threshold SA-1's power my MG-20's bass panels better then a pair of Pass Labs X-600.5's would, but how much better would be the question.Most Threshold and Nelson Pass fans agree that the best sounding ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Cwlondon, if you wish to go with monoblocks then you are talking about either the XA-160's or the X-600.5's if you are not going to bi-amp your maggies.In my system I am able to use XA-100's, and saved close to $5000.00, because I only use the XA ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Cwlondon, I politely disagree with Guidocorona, the sweet spot in Pass Lab .5 series is the 350.5 when it comes to a performance/cost ratio. The 350.5 will easily drive a MG 1.6, 3.6, 20.1 or your older Maggies to a wonderful level of performance. | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Islandbird, I wish I could refer you to someone I know who uses the XA-100's to drive their speaker full range, but I don't know anyone who uses them that way.My strong hunch is that if your speakers do not go below six ohms and are 90 db efficien... | |

| Maggie 20.1 - Bi-Amp vs. More power Bmcleod, take a look at my posts regarding my system, which includes MG-20R's, and on the Pass Labs 350.5 and XA-100 monoblocks. I believe these posts will give some of the information you are seeking. | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Guidocorona, the opinion was that if you were going to run MG-20's or 20.1's with their passive crossover and not bi-amp you would have to go up to the XA-200's. However, Peter believed that a pair of 600.5's might sound better because of the load... | |
| A review Bound for Sound for Pass Labs fans Gandme and Guidocorona, when I was communicating with Peter at Pass Labs at great length regarding if the XA amps, which did replace my 350.5, could power my MG-20r's in by-amped mode, one item that was clearly covered was that the overall sonic s... | |
| Leviathan Signature Monoblocks -- What is the vir Guidocorona, you of all people, do really believe that the Red Dragon amps are at the same level as the Pass Labs .5 or XA series? Based on discussing Pass Lab amps with you on past threads, I find this somewhat surprizing.Many of the ICE and othe... | |
