You might also add K.R.s or EAR (519) to the above suggestions. With the latter I preferred a ss front end. Or play around with a very dynamic pre before U get rid of the Pass...
Good luck!
Steve- We have almost the same system. I was using the Wadia 860x to Pass Aleph 2s with Dunlavy 4s. I moved on to BAT VK150se tube monos. The BAT amps have better bass and more extended highs than the Pass Amps, while at the same time easier to listen to for long stretches. I think the cabling synergy can be really important. I have settled for now on Nordost SPM speaker and Quattro Fil interconnect, after trying about 10 other brands.
Hi Ryan, I'm glad you posted a message for Steve. I was just about to suggest to him that he connect with you. Hope you're enjoying the new Bat 150se amps in your system. I'm looking forward to the day I get them hooked up with the Eidolons! Take care, Tom
Look at Aloia. Dunlavy used them at the CES show.Solid state with inductive power supply. I use them with Cantatas and never get tired. Yours should be biamped.Sounds just like tubes but with complete control.I can't tell you how satisfying they are.
