At the moment, a Musical Fidelity M6CD. I'm in the hunt for a new one.

I recently changed to Revel speakers and Pass Labs has been the most recommended amp.

Ken, my apology. But, since you've quoted me there is no longer any point in me going back to correct the error.

You need to chill and look in the mirror, as negative remarks about equipment you do not own is generally not appreciated by any owner regardless of how puerile the remarks may or not be. It is not a contest . http://www.audioaficionado.org/dagos...eo-amp-17.html

Oh I see you are now using Still points

have a great evening.

I also have a big front end upgrade planned in the next 12-18 months, so the Aesthetix is just serving as my interim player.

Have you ever thought abut SMT transparent diffusers ? They can be made completely disappear in the room.

You can see them here behind the speakers:


Here on the sides:


Here you can see better how it is made:



And here is a very interesting thread about them:

Paradise Studios Stockholm - construction - Page 2 - Gearslutz.com

I have first two on order. I'm gonna put them on the sides, in place of 1-st wall reflectons.

Paul, I ran Pass X600.5's with my Q5s. Although they are both good products, I didn't care for the combination. Maybe the class "A" would be better.

Threads in which you participate do have a nasty habit of running off the rails and turning into shouting matches. Which is fine, if you want to be passionate audiophile guy. In fact, these would probably be more entertaining if you just own it and stop spending so much time trying to prove that you aren't an audio instigator.
