Bob,

Fingers ahead of brain. Was trying to describe the limitation of fixed slope (rather than adjustable slope, like the low pass) high pass and momentarily forgot just where it was fixed. 6db/octave it is.

Bbro -- I missed your response earlier. Thanks for recommending the Bryston. Although pricey, that piece seems to be the one that has the most of what I'm looking for. I need to check it out.

I have a marchand XM44 I have just about finished assembling, and will provide a sound evaluation in the next week or so. I have had the XM26, which is good with Ss, a bit too soft for tubes IMHO.
The best is the Pass, no question. But the price of admission is not cheap....but if you want the best and can pay the piper, grab it, it is likely to not be the weakest link in you system.

FYI, I recently saw the Velodyne SMS-1 at Onecall.com for $399.
