As far as sound; if it's anything other than OMG!!! I need to introduce him to an old Asian Doctor that pulled gunk from my ears that could only have been there from birth.  |

Break in is fine as long as you allow for proper warm up?

Progressive,
Awesome bud, congrats they must be sounding amazing after many days of anxiously awaiting their arrival! I must admit I sometimes pull all nighters fiddling with my equipment when it just arrives or when I am in the middle of an exciting diy project.....

well, have done some critical listening to my new xpa-1's yesterday and my initial impressions are great. using the xda-1 as a preamp, the sound is effortless, clean, and dynamic. no clicks, hums, or pops anywhere. dead quiet. by the way, i am using balanced cables which does make a difference regardless of what others say. so far, so good.

I must admit I have seen the Xpa-1's go on sale nowand then and the cash is in an envelope so I can get 4 as soon as a sale happens!

rosso fiorentino speakers from italy. the fiesole monitor. I saw some of their offerings at RMAF this year. I must say they are quite impressive. Please tell me that you opted for the brown leather faux crocodile finish... If I remeber correctly the floorstanders from this manufacturer were $20K+ and employed a super tweeter. The guy in the room laughed when I asked about them- he said "your dog will love these". |
