| Buying tubes...do they vary??? Power tubes do more so than the smaller signal tubes IMO and why you buy matched sets.Chuck | |
| Focal 1008 be vs KEF LS50 vs KEF R300/500/700 vs MA Gold 200 I drive a pair of Focal 1008Be's with a pair of pass xa100.5's and they sound very smooth and detailed and while I haven't listened to the other speakers you mentioned it would be hard pressed for me to switch from Focal except to maybe go further... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 I drive a pair of 1008Be's with a pair of pass xa100.5's and they are very smooth and detailed not harsh at all; all silver cabeling. What little experimenting I have done it seems to suggest Focals like class A power and/or Tube amplification as... | |
| Integrated amp with HT bypass for Focal Electra 1008 Be Not sure the Pass integrateds have a home theatre by-pass but their class A integrateds INT 30A or 60A sound fantastic on Focals.Chuck | |
| Tube integrated If a power tube lets go while you are not home or sleeping you will think otherwise; Trust Me. | |
| Tube integrated Cary SLI-80 is a good choice as well however no XLR inputs. I would caution that I would not leave a tube amp powered on 24/7.Chuck | |
| Thiel CS3.6 and PrimaLuna I would suggest a Pass X250 or 350 you chose either a .5 or .8 based on budget. Chuck | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations for CJ Premier 11A Focal would be a good match for the cj 11a as they are fairly efficient with a resonable impedance curve. | |
| Getting into tubes Cary Audio SLI-80 or if you want Single Ended Triode Cary CAD300SEI. Both are Point to Point wired and you can tube roll to your hearts content. | |

| Which preamp for a pass labs? mizioa you are most welcome and glad I could help. Chuck | |
| Tube Amp Questions I would suggest a Pass X..5 or .8 series amplifier size would depend on budget. Thiels like current and need to be feed properly to sound their best. Chuck | |
| Which preamp for a pass labs? I would suggest Pass either an xp10 or 20 would be a perfect match. As for cables I am using these and they are excellent regardless of price.https://www.dysonaudio.com/collections/facemeltersEnjoy the musicChuck | |
| Integrated amp for Focal Aria 948 speakers? SS or tube I have a pair of 1008Be's that were powered by a Cary SLI-80 and then a Pass INT30. The Cary was fun rolling tubes in and out. The Pass was a better amp much more dynamic. I liked the Pass so much that I moved up their line to a pair of xa100.5's... |
