Hello & welcome

Shouldn't you hear the WW4S before selling the Mac? Looking at the Aura it looks to be a true straight line with gain and true balanced circuits. Should be a good match with the T+A. It will be interesting to see if you keep Mac power or totally 180 your system sound.

I love electrostats with tube gear, unmatched realism IMO. The type of tube amps to handle the job though are big money. I would love to hear ML matched with Pass or possibly Coda.

Keep in mind the 4 ohms is nombinal that will swing up and down with programming. The speaker you are looking is said to dip to 1 ohm or lower. If it didn't kill the Sony it would be in protection most of the time. At a minimum look at the Parasound INT 6 which is one of the more affordable...

I like that stuff I just didn't consider it "melodic". If you check out Amorphis start with the album Halo. It does have some growling vocals.

I agree, yes, to your question.

Hello & welcome We have some of the same taste in music. Do you like Amorphis?

Hello & welcome If you have a budget that helps to narrow things down. If any stores or other ways to listen to other gear you should do that to get a feel for the type of sound you like. To give an idea Yamaha has integrated amp from $400 and up. I really like the sound of Advance Paris...

You own the 600.8 so this may not be news, I found my Pass amp sounded better after being out of standby for about 45 minutes. It's like the sound stage opens up and a better level of ease.

Your observations go along with my own. I once had a Pass X250 I dropped a Mark Levinson in its place for audition and the difference in liveliness wasn't subtle. I still have a soft spot for Pass but prefer the Levinson for my listening. I listen to a variety of music including Rock and...

From what I understand they even have like 3 versions to chose from.

It is really something you have to experiment with. My initial audition of a power conditioner I took back because it obviously degraded the sound of my then Krell amplifier, I suspect current limiting was going on. Another time I was using my Surgex with good results with my Pass amplifier...

My set up is similar, a 20 amp dedicated line in which my Concerto is plugged into then my system is plugged into the Concerto. Also using upgraded power cords from the outlet and to the components.

If no discernible difference why bother with the expense of the unit?

The length of the room is a plus, plenty of room to get your speakers off the rear wall and to have plenty of room behind your sitting position. Those speakers will need some room and made for a large room like yours, 93dB with the amps you're talking about should fill the room nicely. I...
