Treble Clef
Member
I currently own Pass Labs X260.5, Burmester 099 pre with dac, Montis and two Paradigm Sub 1. And Nordost Frey 2 XLR and speaker cables.
My bass and treble works very good. But in between, the mid is thin on some material. I have tried two other XLR cables with surprising results. The mid body increased a lot. But the treble quality was reduced.
I do not believe the Frey 2 is causing this. I believe that my amps and my pre are no good match.
My local vendor says I should go for a Burmester 956. I prefer this route instead of putting in a Pass Labs pre. The bigger Burmester 911 is more powerful in watts than the 956. But the 956 offers more voltage out. They say that the smaller German amp has a higher damping factor than the bigger 911.
I wonder if someone in this forum have tested these two amps with Martin Logan. How do they match ESL?
And if you have a comment on Nordost as well - you're welcome to comment...
I will do amp testing in January.
