I found the X-150 too bass heavy for my liking. However, this doesn't apply to the terrific new X-Series pre and power amp combination. This sounds really wonderful.
I am also using other X-series components (X-Ray, X-Dac and X-10) and I am delighted with the sound.
I am using Nordost Red Dawn cables (interconnects and speaker cables) and have B&W N805 speakers, with a new REL B3 Britannia sub.
Couldn't be happier. I tried several other cables from manufacturers including Analysis Plus, Ecosse and Tara Labs, but the Nordost are leaps and bounds ahead of anything else I tried.
By the way, I tried the Sugden Bijou system and have previously posted here about the extremely slow and unsatisfactory service I received from the U.S importer. I would personally NEVER buy another Sugden unit because of this terrible experience. The Sugden HeadMaster headphone amp is good, but the MF X-Can (when used with the X-PSU) is more open and a better match for my Sennheiser 650 headphones.
In short, I didn't like the X-150, but I am EXTREMELY happy with the other X-Series units.
