Review: Accustic Arts Drive 1-MK2 Transport Branimir, it's truly a pleasure to hear from you again. I know that you shared you were going on vacation some time this summer, but you then you kinda "dropped out of sight". You mean there might be other things more important then listening to h... | |
Reference DACS: An overall perspective Just wanted to share that a good audiophile friend came over to hear the combination of the Accustic Arts Drive 1-MK2 and Accustic Arts DAC 1-MK4, since he had not heard my system since I replaced my Ensemble transport.His reference is the Meitner... | |
Reference DACS: An overall perspective I have just submitted my review of the the new Accustic Arts Drive 1-MK2 here on the GON. It was hard for me at first to believe how it out performed my Ensemble transport with the Accustic Arts DAC 1-MK4 in my system. So, to say the least, its a ... | |

Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, you have made some major changes in your system in a relatively short period of time! It seems that you are extremely pleased with how your total system sounds to you. Well, congratulations, your thoughtful effort and time put in has got... | |
Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier I just got through reading the only professional review that I know of regarding the XA-100's, from the French journal, Haute Fidelite, written by Mr. Laurent Thorin.Mr. Thorin, stated the following," Low end incredulous energy and precise... Mids... | |
Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier Cwlondon, I don't know if their is the "BEST WAY" to fill your room with monoblocks to power your system, but if we are talking about the greatest performance for the buck, I would recommend the following.1) A pair of XA-100's on top with a pair o... | |
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... | |
Reference DACS: An overall perspective I just wanted to check-in with Branimir, hope your having a delightful summer, and see if you have listened to any new DACS or CDPS since the last time you posted. If I remember you were going on holiday, but you were going to go to some high end ... | |

We both know when you get to a higher level of gear that personnal taste and system snergy becomes more and more important.Regardless of what oth... | |
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... |
