Thanks everyone for your input. This has been very helpful. Tvad and Al, I did install the jumpers in the XLR inputs so that part is out of the equation.
I'm gonna see what happens with the LTA when it comes. Clearly the pre section in the Peachtree was designed for the power section of the Peachtree so maybe that'll change things. It's interesting, I agree that the Pass sounds more dimensional and luxurious and less "dry" than the Peachtree but I can't trade that for all the things that the Peachtree is doing better for me at this point. More detail, more crispness, more highs in general and a tighter more assured sound. Maybe I'm a class D fanboy? Jury's still out. Thanks again everyone
