Wow! What a great looking (and I guess sounding) room.

I’m so amazed that all these places exist all over the world. What a wonder that we can meet here and share these places of pleasure.

Pass XP-22

Bought is used. After my speakers the second most expensive piece of gear I own.
Worth every penny. Moved there from NAD, then AVM, then Ayre.
I tried the DSD direct to the active ATC but the high frequency hiss drives me nuts. Dead quiet with the Pass.

There’s a great review with a comparison to the BHK: https://www.stereophile.com/content/pass-laboratories-xp-22-line-preamplifier

Playing around with some MBL 120’s instead of my normal Maggie 20.7’s. 1st night of listening was a treat. Will have @aangen and some other audiofools over to see what they think of the comparison. The MBL’s go down to 35Hz in my room so the crossovers on the Rel Carbon Ltd subs are only up two clicks at 34.5 Hz.

Any other MBL owners out there?

Matt has left me alone with this system and this view. The moon is just rising above the windows. These MBL speakers are a whole other thang. And all I have to do is listen to whatever I want. Yikes.

When I first got here the MBL’s were far apart and they reminded me of the Maggie 20.7 speakers. I moved them closer together and now they remind me of my Wilsons. I am stunned by the amount of clean bass these little fellas can dish out.

I am so glad I am not a speaker manufacturer.

Hi Al,
“Amount of clean bass”, does this mean they have a good synergy with Matt’s subs?
Chas

I turned his subs off.

Thanks to friends for the complimentary comments!

Here in Brazil it is a little more complicated and time consuming to put together a good set, but with caution and parsimony we get there!

Hugs to everyone!
