Mcintosh mc601 vs Pass Labs XA 100.8

This is one of the funniest posts I have read in quite a while. I am a musician, electrical engineer and audiophile. Make my living playing music. So what? Any opinion I have is just mine. Go and listen to the amps and buy what you like. Both are great products.

Bi-amping with different amps is not that easy to get it perfectly ballanced. I would not go for that.

Ok Bo, why is that, please.

I tried it several times. The stage became less precise and less deep and wide. Even when I used poweramps of the same brand and line. I thought that it would work fine, but I was wrong.

I think it can work, but you ened to test it first. Compare it and you will understand what the differences are.

So, I take it you don't recommend passive bi-amping? How about active bi-amping with an external crossover?

Audio is all about comparing and testing. To create an external crossover you need the right skills.

When you want more controle and drive I would advice a more powerfull amp.

I owned the XA30.5, XA60.5, XA100.5, X250.5 and now the X350.5. I use it with the Purist Audio Limited edition. What this powercable does is impressive. The difference between this powercable and a 500 dollar powercable is this big that even a Pass Labs worth twice the price will not create this endresult. Most people who have this a s a hobby often use a low % of the whole quality of an amp.

That is why I use blind auditions to make this clear. Audio is in my world about facts. The best endresults wins. This is the only thing that counts!
