Denafrips Pontus 15th, Pass Labs INT-60, and Wilson Sabrinas


Curious what people think of this setup, I’m using Transparent interconnects and the Wilsons are not the X model, but are refurb’d originals. Was planning on using Amazon 12 ga. speaker cables, but I wonder if this is going to be a weak link in my setup. The amp is 8 weeks out so I’ve got some time to rethink the cables. Thoughts?

Thanks @devinplombier! Hoping I don’t miss the class A, but then again - I won’t know what I don’t know 🤣😛 this is my first serious system.

You still get Class A power with the Int-250. You should experiment with speaker placement. Dependency on the room size and acoustics adjust the distance between speakers and try different toe in. Avoid placing these speakers too close to walls - they need room to breathe with the rear port and high res drivers. 

@audphile1 - thanks for the advice! They’re still in boxes in my living room 🤣 I don’t have a ton of freedom to move them, but the plan is to have them about 18” from their back wall. They’re only about 6 and a half feet apart (measured from tweeter centers) so I’m trying to keep the listening spot about 8-9 feet away. Sadly not a whole lot of room to work with as you’ll see when I post a pic of the system once the amp comes in. I’m hoping it’ll work with this 40-44 degree toe-in axes. #fingerscrossed

That is a little tight but it could work. You never know. FWIW I found mine to produce better bass in both quantity and quality when further away from front wall. But if space is limited you gotta work with what you have. 

@audphile1 I did buy a Rel S/510 sub for bass as well. So should be good on bass 😊 …better be 🤣 …don’t have room for 2 😔
