Pass + McIntosh = Match made in heaven?
Anyone here using a Mc tube pre with a Pass amplifier? Curious how they sound together.

listen the C2300 with the Pass xa160.5: no match. expeciallly in the midrange frequency. Pass and spectral prempli is a macht made in heaven. Mcintosh match Mc products at to top. greets |

I tried the amps direct with my Weiss 202, but I preferred the sound with the Mac in the equation. The Mac made the sound just a little warmer. I will see if I can get my hands on a spectral for a demo as raidho suggests. |

sorry I have the xa100.5 and they sound good. (premapli is a xp20) Have you compared the 100.8 and the 100.5? For my taste the Mc prempli is not the top with the Pass amplifier: a AR ref5se or the Spectral 30 is much better on the mid freq. Mc sound too "moud". Maybe the S1 give a good combo at the complety system but never listen and Mcintosh and Magico is not a combo much present on the shows. If you can try the Spectral and a tube preampli (Nagra-Audio Res. - VTL...) greetings |

I did not compare the xa100.5 with the xa100.8. I demo'd the xa100.8 and after that I had no need to demo more. Just sounded that good. I agree with your statement...never seen Mcintosh and Magico combined at an audio show. Thanks for the input. |
