Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5
"A sideways step"? Did you even bother to read what Syntax wrote? I'll go a step further. Yes, the Lamm is vastly superior and not just in the bass regions. Really good listeners--like Syntax--pick up on subtle things like the Pass's like of micro... 
CAT SL1 Signature, How does it measure up ?
The difference is that the MK3s use two 6922s in place of the MK2s two 12AU7s. And yes, CAT offers the MK2 to MK3 upgrade. 
CAT SL1 Signature, How does it measure up ?
After looking at the rest of your system, it's obvious even at first glance that buying the CAT would be like putting Michelin's best racing tires on a tricycle. Me, I'd get a Ducati Diavel before buying the world's best tires for it but hey, that... 
Life after ADS

Life after ADS
With proper medication, ADS is survivable. And life afterwards can be both rewarding and fulfilling. At least that's what the medical journals seem to indicate. Stay strong, my friend, stay strong. 
has anyone heard Egglestonworks Savoy

"Whilst I fully appreciate...ARC Central's policy..."No you don't. If you did, you wouldn't have posted this request.

What language is that? 
McCormack DNA 1 & Hales Revelation 3...Good Match?
The choices you've made may have been dictated by budget, but unlike so many I see on this site, they're quite smart. Your speakers do several things very well and, particularly in the bass region, outperform those at ten times the price. Moreover...

Mike Werner, how would you know that ARC has great customer service if you've never had any ARC problems? 
Conrad johson versus lamm
"No clipping but with high volume i hear aggressive acute"Make sure you have the M1.1 in the 1-6 ohm setting. The Lamm will drive your Dynaudios far better than the CJ 140."Dynaudios are more or less know to be a money grave for amplifiers. No mat...
