Audioquest

Thanks for replies!I have decided to move my xpa 1 s in the basement and just run xpa 5 with my integra 80.3 and Thiel 3.7 for main system.By using only xpa 5 as  only amp I can upgrade speaker wires without cutting them up,as I had to for the ultra wide posts on the xpa 1 s.(why they made posts that wide I don't know?).I really didn't hear enough difference between xpa 1 and xpa 5 to leave monos in main system,family is happier with simpilar system also.My 805 speakers do sound better with the xpa 1s though.That move was more of an upgrade.

corvette01-

are you using the Integra 80.3 as a pre-amp or home theater processor?

Happy Listening!

I used to have the Rocket 33 then I jump to Rocket 88 connected between my McIntosh and my Vandersteen Speakers and made a very good difference, But now I have a whole new System.

I'm using integra 80.3 for both music and movies.I know you can only get 2 channel so good with a processor,but it's really not bad.Just been trying to get the most out of what I have.For music I like to stream from my iPad to a Moon 100 dac into my 80.3.Really not bad this way but I think my Type 4 wire is the 2nd weak link.Using a processor is the 1st.I was disappointed in my xpa1s that they didn't sound  that much better than Xpa 5 channel amp.Xpa 1s was a nice upgrade from a Halfler 280 xl I was using in a basement system.

Yes! Audioquest holds a good name! Owned their rocket line of speaker cable!! Replaced with Cardas Reflection speaker cable! My opinion, Audioquest fits the bill till you invest in 8-9000.00 dollar level electronics units! I guess I'm saying just how high end are you!
