You might want to try the Brooklyn as a preamp into the XA60s. You may or may not like the sound but it also might balance the warmness of the Pass amps - either way, you'll learn something. My other thought is that we're talking about two different rooms here and the room is almost always a huge contributor to the system's sound (nearfield listening also eliminates a lot of this). Dick
Has anyone purchased the new Elac Adante floorstanders yet?
I’m considering auditioning them vs. my Goldenear Triton Ones. The Tritons are clean and solid sounding, but seem to lack some sparkle, air and detail in my system. Have Cary SLP-05 preamp and Passlabs XA60.5 amps. Room is 25 ft x 15 ft x 10 ft, and very open.
Think the Adantes may be more coherent and live sounding, without sacrificing any bass.
opinions?
ps: I get better sound in a much smaller room with a Rogue Cronus Magnum II and Audio Physic Scorpios. Go figure. — could be the “near field” effect.
