Hi cbird. How do you like the Newform? I am an Apogee junkie. the Apogees are the direct ancestors to the Newform. I have a Pass Labs X 150 powering an Apogee Duetta Signature in my present set up. The X series are perfect for more laid back ribbons, but for the Newform I would go for the Alephs. You just can't go wrong with these. They have a lush detailed mid and treble band that are just perfect for lively ribbons. They are class A, big and heavy. I don't know anything about the Clayton, but Pass designs always go for the simplest layout in order to preserve the true character of the music and not color it one way or another. Hope this helps.
clayton s40 vs. pass aleph 3 or 5
Looking for a new solid state amp to power my audio physic step se's and maybe even my newforms if there's enough juice. Have heard numerous good things about each line though I've had a hard time finding someone who has actually experienced the clayton. Anyone whose experienced one or both lines could save me a lot of postage.
thanks,
cbird
