I also decided to pony up and replace my amps with a set of PASS Labs XA100.5's to go along with my S3's so at this point my wallet will be licking its wounds for some time to come . My reasoning for the amp replacement was fear of having too much neutrality in the system given the Hypex's ultra clean sound in combination with the S3's similar nature. The PASS Amps should help to add a little seasoning to the sound if you will.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the "little" XA100.5's have enough juice to power these S3's appropriately given my louder then normal listening habits and fairly large listening room. |
Thank you for the feedback. I am about 24 hours out from walking into the dealership and putting an order in for the S3s. Costs as much a car! Thank god Kraft Mac and Cheese is still about $.07 a serving so I will survive. :-)
