Well, it finally arrived this afternoon from Nevada...
My Primare A34.2 is back in the box, up for grabs here on the site.
Damn, I forgot how heavy the Pass X150.5 was. Is.
What I didn't forget was how great my Thiels sounded with it in the past. It's back, and it's staying. I'm done. It's playing now. I'm a happy camper.
Well...kinda done. I just bought a Khozmo passive preamp for a pittance here on the site just because...well...
I think the Pass is as uncolored an amplifier that a body could hope for, I think that my 3.5's are also as uncolored a speaker that one could wish for, so why not toss a passive pre into the chain and see what is...revealed? (No, I'm not giving up my B. A. T. preamp.) My system is now complete, with the only exception possible being the availability of 3.6's or higher in a geographically/financially desirable future.
I would like to offer up another dilemna facing me. The Pass and the BAT have XLR connects that I would like to use, but this takes the Thiel EQ out of the chain since it has RCA connects.
I could purchase XLR adapters, but that pretty much defeats the intent altogether.
Suggestions?
