| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 Thank you and will do. Hopefully order after next week. Gentleman is on vacation next week so gives me some more research time. Although I think I’ve read and watched every review on all 3. | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @johngp The noise comment came from a couple of people on here if I recall. Glad to hear that that isn’t the case. At this point, for space concerns in the coming months, I think I’m going with the Pass int-25. Give it a trial run. Has more power ... | |
| Adventures With Subwoofers I saw you mentioned not having an external crossover. They do make high quality ones. I almost went that route myself. Spl makes one that comes highly recommended by various sub manufacturer’s. Pricey though. I bought speakers with more bass inste... | |
| Tannoy or Volti Well my next amp will be solid state for sure. Was going to keep the tube pre for awhile. I have been reading up on the Xperia-12 and xp22. They appear very impressive. The xp-22 would have to be used but there is one for sale a couple towns away.... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @joeycastillo Thank you Joey. My local dealer doesn’t demo models unfortunately. I’m going by word of mouth I guess. Whether it’s the xa-25, sit-4 or sit-5, I’m sure I will be happy. They are all excellent choices. I do like the idea of the extra ... | |
| Tannoy or Volti So you are using solid state for both amp and pre with the Lucera? Do you find its gentle enough on the ears? I wonder if I want to run the Sit-4 or 5 with a tube pre. I also considered picking up a used xp-22 to use. Of course that’s after speake... | |
| Tannoy or Volti @charles007100 Thanks for the input. Good to know for sure. I’m away this weekend so next week I’ll pursue it a bit more. Thought I had the speakers sold and the gentleman backed out. So, now I will probably wait until I sell the other speakers be... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @sls883 Thank you. As I’m moving into a different class of gear, I’m noticing a lot of sounds creep in or are more audible. It’s one of the frustrating aspects. With Volti speakers now, I want to be sure that future gear purchases are on the brigh... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @sls883 Glad to hear. I was leaning in a different direction so perhaps I used those comments to confirm my choosing something else. The positive comments are quite numerous. Like I said earlier, just not much out there on them. One of the learni... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 @gabriel123 I always read every review I can find. I don’t remember but I do remember it came up twice because the noise floor is something I’m concerned about. But, who knows what there system was? Could be noise from any number of things I suppo... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 Thanks guys. Since the start I’ve kind of moved off the xa-25. I’ve reading about how neutral it is. I don’t want anything much more transparent and neutral than my tube amp, which is already a tough listen on many of my favorite albums. The Sit-4... | |
| Tannoy or Volti Charles. I’m going to order this week but just kind of sorting out my wants and what each brings. Since you’ve had low powered tube amps as well. How does the Sit-4 sound power wise and bass control wise. Is it an improvement over the low powered ... | |
| Pass Labs xa-25 or Coda Continum #8 There’s a sli-80 newer version for sale in Denver for $2700. Someone is going to get a good deal on a great piece of equipment | |
| Tannoy or Volti Great to hear. Streamer upgrade will be next for sure. Will start thinking about that in the new year. Wonderful set up. Love hearing an audio veteran who loves a new set up. Congratulations. Enjoy the music! | |
| Tannoy or Volti So, you are loving your new set up. What’s your favorite part so far? |
