| Pre and Amp Suggestions The Pass integrated is definitely on my short list. As are the x60.5 monos. Either would be within my $10k used budget. | |
| Pre and Amp Suggestions Sorry, that is an important question I omitted. My budget for pre/amp or integrated would be About $10k | |
| Revel Ultima Studio 2 & Pass Labs XA30.5 If you still want to stay in Pass class A, you may want to try the XA60 models. They should do everything you need from the Studio 2s, which, in my experience are not nearly as hard to drive as the Salons are. | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Use a hairdryer to gently heat the periphery of the backplate where it has the gasket seal underneath. After a couple of minutes going around, you should be able to lift it from the cabinet. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! WC Fields said I think | |
| Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge The studio2 speakers are really incredible and can be had at bargain basement prices on the used market now. Smaller and much easier to drive than the Salons which would require every last drop out of a 4b and then some. The Studios are 85 to 90% ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! ...At the level of amplification your’re considering, are you sure the Shashas 2 will give you everything you need to discern the differences? Maybe time to look at the Alexx or XLF lines? I would have to think that the deep end of the Magico or R... | |

| Mark Levinson 532h Except for when I have owned class A or tube amps, I never turn them off. No problems in 30 years with a wide variety of equipment. | |

Your exuberance for the Rowland’s is admirable, but your long history of churning what was so recently the “best thing ever” tells me they’ll be traded out for something else in a few weeks.

| Plugging ports in revel studio 2s I actually did try this a few months ago to my Studio2s on the recommendation of a JL Audio tech. The reasoning being, that it was impossible to truly match the phase of the subs to the mains at the crossover point if the port was producing a thir... | |
| Jl audio fathom f212v2 noise and hum I think there’s a ground switch on the back panel, try that | |
| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp I agree with j_stereo, that 3 years does not seem long enough to pose a problem for the caps. The 6922 tube bias thing is however, extremely real and they are a bit of a pain in the a$$ to bias, requiring 2 digital multi meters, some expertise and... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I don’t believe I have ever heard of the Salon 2s accused of sounding both lacking in bottom end and muffled. My experience on hearing them in several rooms and systems has been just the opposite-they are a very neutral and full range transducer. ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross, With the changing out of your speakers a couple of months ago from Martin Logan to the PL500, have you ever considered revisiting any of the numerous (dozens & dozens) of amps you tried before? The electrostatics present a vastl... |
