    I gave you the chance to sell me the ones you have.. I have had my ears on them, I'm quite sure I will be very happy with them, if I could afford Pass Labs right now, that's what I would be getting..

    I have been wanting the W4S for over a year now, and they fit my budget right now..

    BMS, some Pass, and W4S all sound very similar.

    The Aurora cables didn't change the sound so much, it did make the soundstage taller though. :eek:

    I've been switching back and forth between the STP-SE and a custom Dodd 6H30 fully balanced pre.

    What changes your preference? Speaker type?

    Here the SX-1000's do great with the Krell KSL pre which is warmer sounding than the KRC-HR I stuck in last night. The HR does better with a Class A amp. The HR didn't mate well with the Sanders A/B amp either.

    I'll have my last amp to try here in early Jan, weather permitting.

    Congrats Larry! I thought about getting the stereo version for a while, but could never find someone who would let me have a listen. Most reviews I've read are highly complementary- looking forward to your listening impressions.

    That could be a factor, but usually just wanting to try something a little different again.

    The Revel F52's have aluminum dome tweets and I didn't care for my Sanders amp on them. Maybe with a tube pre it would have worked... The Sanders sounded great with the Raal tweet with warm jfet SS pre.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with a single product or a product line. It's about the context of the thread started by the OP. Tool posted that he just ordered a pair on W4S amps...he's excited as all get out. We've all been there & experienced the excitement of ordering new gear & the torture we all go thru waiting for the delivery truck to pull up. Now is the time that congrats & enjoy are in order. No need to rain on anyone's parade.
