Pure Class A shootout
Ozy - thanks for the constructive comments. I've listened to the Mirage/Colosseums and I thought they were fantastic as well. I just haven't done A/B comparisons with them which I hope to do. Compared with your old Krell 700's how would you descri... 
Kharma ceramic blow up
Jtinn, Buff - The Soulution preamp was set at "50" if I remember. I highly highly doubt this was over 115db. Maybe 100db, I'm not sure. Jtinn, what do you mean by the amp pushing DC current to the speakers? Mtdking - were they the ceramic midrange...

Hah sorry I meant the evo1.I definitely like the pass xa.5 series too, but I'm not sure about their preamps, and also if they mate well with Rockports. Pass's Xa.5 series definitely seems like a bargain compared with the rest. Paired with Rockport... 
Rockport Ankaa and Anquila
