3 Options of Speakers + Integrated Amp. appreciate all the thoughts about..
I owned the Contour 60's.Solid speaker, really good bottom end.  Not quite as open as as big of a soundstage as I like.  But, it's possible I like a slightly exaggerated soundstage.While I've not heard that particular Marantz piece, I would expect... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
@mr_m It's simply, because no matter what thread Atroy gets in, he finds some way to spin how what he sells is better or a better value.Like you, I actually do like some of the Legacy line-up, the Focus SE in particular is a good speaker, and a lo... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@jetter Gotcha, really looks like a whole lot of useless space and words to me.  No idea what it has to do with Pass Labs... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Man... at least Troy is selling legitimate brands and equipment. Bo, appears to be using the "show-up and throw-up" method of selling... garbage. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@jetter Yeah... I under estimated the volume again.  Definitely hitting peaks over 100db+Oh, on the subject of Pass Labs no question they underestimate power and the class A bias.  Bias meter barely moving.87db 6ohm nominal load on the 5000's.  Do...

@dgarretson I was just making sure I could smell what the Rock...was... cookin!I will say however, right now my wife and kids are not home, I am in my audio room with my 250.8, XP12, and my Ohm Walsh 5000’s and getting my dose of Metal and Classic... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@bo1972 I've never heard of Tru-Fi, is this a company, something you sell/rep work for?  Just never heard of it. 
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
250.8.  Outstanding. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@bo1972 So here is the thing.  Even when talking about the "realism" of instruments.  I would make the argument that anything amplified - ultimately doesn't have much "3d" sound.  Electric Guitar/Bass in particular.   Anytime you are at a concert ... 
Great deal on some Salks . . .
@rja Well, I'm within 2.5 hours, and get over there for work sometimes.  I want to go listen, but I don't have it in the budget right now (I did, but my 16 year old may need a car soon...)I'm sure I will hear them soon enough, I may go to Axpona a... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
@tomic601 Did not know that on the 5a Carbon, those are a really good speaker.... something to watch for used down the road. Wonder if a replacement is coming? Quattro CT is really a nice speaker, and all I probably need for my space. But they jus...

@hifiman5 I'm stunned.OP, if you can afford the Vandersteens... they are absolutely outstanding.  In the uber expensive department speakers I've heard, properly set-up they are just unreal.The Blades are OK.  I've heard them outperformed by lower ... 
Great deal on some Salks . . .
Suspect they will be closer to 10k than 5k for the pair... but they will be a good value for sure! 
Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater
Would look used on speakers to stretch your budget. Somethinng like spatial M3 s turbos are dynamic as you are used to klipsch. It’s a really good speaker for the money. Or depending on the size of your room, I like the OHM walsh speakers bang for... 
Great deal on some Salks . . .
I’m hoping to hear them soon.  Jim is a good guy and builds a great speaker.  Those look super cool to boot!
