STC - The Wilson XLFs are very efficient. I've heard them being driven by the ARC GS150 to extremely loud levels. Enjoy your new system!

Sound-staging (I am listening 99% classical music) is absolutely rock solid and pin point. Enjoy this new amp very much |

I switched XA160.8 (3 pairs) to XS300 amps as I ordered WA XLF spk and it can only accept one pair of inputs (i.e. no bi or tri amps). But the synergy between XS300 and Aida is so magical that I requested my supplier to hold the delivery of XLF spkeaker.
XS preamp will be delivered soon and I am looking forward to the partnership of this combo with Aida. |

Only one pairs of XS300 amplifiers
Just received my XS preamplifier yesterday, which replaced my ARC Ref 10 preamplifier. First impression is quite positive But quite taken a back to learn that there is no On/Off switch for XS pre (i.e. It will be left on mode 24/7 ) |

His amplifier is also XS300! He said he preferred the soundstage and liquidity of the ARC Ref 10 compared to those of his XS Pre. I guess we all hear differently. Last edited by mpedris; 05-06-2017 at 08:01 PM. |

I guess it is very much individual preferences. I started with complete ARC system (ARC Ref 250SE bi-amp, ARC Ref 10 Phono and ARC Ref 10 Pre). Then gradually change the gears to Pass Labs (XA160.8 tri amps --> XS300 amps and XS pre, and I am still keeping the ARC Ref 10 Phono for now) |

The XS Pre is designed to work with the XS300. Using a tube preamp can work great, but you have to pay attention to impedance matching, including cable impedance and length.
XS300's are ridiculously good! |
