This is an interesting supposition. If you would be so kind as to share the specific CD compilation album on which you noticed the differences. I would like to investigate as this is not something I have (knowingly) experienced.

Shawn Miliin, I am so sorry! I assure you, I've got it now. Again, many, many thanks for a very positive experience, and I am so appreciative of your valuable insights and guidance. I am certainly enjoying the !5As, and will soon bring the Illusion Center online. Looking forward to doing...

Dang it! Type on Shawn's last name -- should be "Millan" -- in the first post. Didn't catch it until just now, and too late to edit. Apologies to Shawn, and to all.

Good to hear! BTW, I really like your system and components. Well Done! How do you like your Aurender?

Will do. Have not place it into the system just yet, but in a few days. Believe it will be quite an improvement from the Stage.

Big Thanks to Shawn Milan at DaVinci Media for his expertise in working with me to upgrade my Martin Logan Summits to Renaissance 15As. For good measure, we added the Illusion center to round out the home theater experience. Shawn was great to work with and did all he said he would, and more...

Interested in any further updates / reports regarding these types of devices. Please don't hold back.

That Red repaint of the side panels looks great! Nice job.

Mark at Reno Hi-Fi was very helpful, as so many on this forum have noted. I ended up with XA160.8s, which are now sitting just inside my front door, waiting for my son to stop by this Friday to help me set up (OK, move to the media room), and start the break-in. Really, really appreciative of...

Great pictures, great-looking cats. So very, very sorry for your loss. It is heartbreaking to lose a beloved member of your family. We just lost our 19-year old Alley Cat three weeks ago, so can empathize.

Good info. Thanks!

If one has an AV with room correction, should that be used or ARC? Inquiring minds...

I have often thought about Roon, and have looked into it two or three times. It ALWAYS looks like such a PITA -- make that Major PITA to me. Lots of stuff to master and get exactly right. And, if I wanted a dang computer in my media room I'd do it. But I don't. However, I'll take yet...

So...if one were about to thinking of matching Pass amplifiers with ML 13A or 15A speakers, among the XA100.8, XA160.8, and the X260.8, what advice might be offered?

So, folks -- please enlighten me a little bit more. I (if memory serves) had thought I had read (long ago) that MLs needed High-Current amplification, in order to handle the impedance swings. Now I'm hearing that it is the Voltage that matters more with MLs. Would one of you smart folks that...

This was also my experience. Same recommendation (by Kent) on the amplifiers. Got into a discussion about Voltage vs Current, and as mentioned previously, "Authority". I also was leaning rather heavily toward the Class A side (XA100.8 / XA160.8), but was eventually pointed toward the X260.8...

Same here. Doing a significant (for me) upgrade, and considering those two preamps. What amps are you considering. I thought I wanted the XA100.8 or XA160.8, but have been advised to look at the X260.8 to go with ML 15A speakers, for more, um, "Authority". Currently confused...

How long have you had your XA30.8? Keeping Theos or thinking of somethings else? Nice move on the XP-22.

^^^ Dang it, Dave -- you're supposed to be my decision-maker! Seriously, I do appreciate your valuable thoughts on what has become a more difficult decision than I imagined.

I must say all this gives me pause about purchasing any MLs... Don't mean to be a heretic, but am also considering the Revel Salon 2. Of course, I fear I would dearly miss the sweetness of the ML sound. Any thoughts, Dave? Or others?
