Pass XA-160 and Avalon Eidolon

I'm thinking about purchasing the xa-160's, because of the raving reviews.

I heard the spectral 360's on the Eidolon's and found myself getting tired after about 2 hours of listening. Was to 'fast' for me?

Therefor I'm thinking about the xa-160's; a warmer and more lush sound, but still great control and dynamics.

Any experience in this combination??

Any other (pass, or others) SS suggestions, that sound controlled, a little warm and dynamic but not tiring??

Thanks for your reaction.

Sirspeedy, I do have the original manual and in fact, I purchased the Ascents from Johnson. I also have an REL Stadium 3 in the corner of the room and for about half of what I listen to, it provides the extra base that improves the quality of my listening experience. I love my Ascents and for once am not dreaming of my next purchase. The Dunlavy SC-4as, I used to have in my two channel setup, are now in another room attached to my home theatre setup. My room is 15 feet wide by 28 feet deep and the speakers are slightly toed in at 4 feet from the rear wall.
Happy listening,
Jeff
