Yep, looks like you're on the right track. As mentioned, break-in, room treatments, trying different toe-in / placement and rake will all make a difference. Think of it a tuning the speakers to your room (which is easier than a new room, I suppose:)). Also, pretty sure you're going to really...

I'd suggest moving your (very nice) speakers forward -- away from the wall behind the speakers. Certainly get the speakers ahead of the cabinet below the TV -- at least the panel part of the speakers.

Looking forward to your update as well. Always in good hands with Shawn@DaVinci.

^^^ I had thoughts to similar to Big Dog. Pass amplification is, I believe, an excellent choice for Martin Logans.

Hey, Vic -- a hearty welcome to a very remarkable place. Great folks here who are very knowledgeable and can provided terrific ideas and advice. I have also ventured down the Dual 1229 (and 1019) turntable route, as well as the Bose 901. I am unashamed of my journey through the audio (and...

BTW, I think Shawn / Davinci Media carries Bricasti amps, which I understand are excellent. However, I have not had the opportunity to listen to them.

Update! Actual SNs are: AFM9442274N01 and AFM9442275N01 I had thought the number on the shipping box (that said "Serial Number" was the actual serial. Ron at ML was kind enough to assist. Great suggestion, Robert!

Hmmm. I purchased mine from Shawn at Davinci in September ,2022. Seems odd.

Suggest you visit with Mark at Reno Hi-Fi. He is a good guy will answer all your questions and concerns. He was very helpful to me, explaining things to the point that even I understood (mostly). Very happy with the XA160.8 amps and XP-32 Preamp. As a number of folks here have mentioned...

Perhaps I missed it, but one of my 15A Renaissance Serial Numbers is: CBT0223 FE. I think the CB is to designate the 15A, and the latter (FE) may be the code for the finish. Perhaps the 223 is the sequence number of 15A speakers produced during the month of ?).( Don't know about the T or the...

Welcome, we're glad you're here Satoru53. The more the merrier, and makes things better for everyone. I've received lots of help here, from the many who are more knowledgeable than I. And, as the famed philosopher Yogi Berra once remarked, "you can learn a lot just by watching".:)

Great to hear, Shawn. Well deserved!

Welcome -- and great choice. I'm sure who will love them, they are terrific speakers!

Additional thoughts...Might want to also read some reviews for both Pass and Bricasti. I decided on Pass Class A XA160.8s because I wanted plenty of power (as Mark promised, these amps will drive the 15a speakers "Effortlessly" (asthey most certainly do) Also, I wanted the benefits of SS and...

I find your comments spot-on -- in every respect.

With apologies...my listening room is 34' x 22' w/9' ceiling. I have not listened to, but have heard pretty nice things about Bricasti, and of course hard to go wrong with Shawn. Would be excellent if you could arrange to audition your primary candidates with your speakers. Also agree with...

I took plenty of time to consider various options and did the appropriate "due diligence" win my quest to acquire the best solution (for me). I was determined to get this right the first time, as a re-do can get expensive fast! Spoke with Mark and Kent at Reno HiFi (about the Pass products) a...

FWIW, I too was quite concerned about the heat output from the Pass XA160.8, but it was not as much as I had feared. Ran with a fan pointed towards them for a couple of months (my paranoia, I guess), then discontinued the practice. These amps do help downstairs in the cooler months, tho.

Welcome. Many of us here have found Martin Logan and Pass Labs to be an outstanding pairing. Quite a knowledgeable and friendly group here, so you can have confidence in their sincere and well-intended suggestions.
