| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Great write up and your comments concerning the differences between the XA series of amplifiers emulates what Pass has explained to me. Unfortunately I have a wife who isn't very understanding of this hobby so I think a pair of XA100.5's are out o... | |
| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid Bpoletti I understand that but the heft also comes from the transformers and other functional aspects inside the other amp designs like Pass. | |

| Tube Amplifier for Thiel There was a cj MF2500 (250wpc) on this site for sale a week or so ago for like 1200.00; no affiliation I used one of these as well to drive the 3.6's and it did a pretty good job. You could pick up a used cj tubed pre and get some good synergies.C... | |

| Phono preamp comparison/Pass,Herron,Avid DavtWhat amps and pre-amps did you compare the Herron amps to? I am discussing with Keith the possibility of auditioning his equipment in my system (M1A's and VTSP-3A). I have been looking into Pass XA series but the size of those mono-blocs are a... | |

| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? Foot print is my issue with each amp the size of a small ARC Welder. Even though I have a pair on Hold my Wife is having major heartburn because of their size. | |
