Ouch. That's rather sobering. Thanks.

if your room has some ambient noise, you may like the result. Very low ground floor noise makes a lot of difference, because noise that otherwise would be unnoticed is just annoyingly there. The driver with the highest efficiiency in the Ultimate is 120dB, that means it still needs 30 times less power than the Avantgarde.... scary! Even famous amps advertised at 125dB+ S/N ratio sounds very noisy, will not give names ;-)You made me curious. We have Avantgarde, and darTZeel. Never thought of plugging them together, but I willCurrently, ours is hooked to a tube amp (Audiopax). No noise.
BTW Avantgardes are normally 104, 108dB sensitive, depending on the model.

The two chassis Pass XS-150's are a lot better than the XA series amps...$65K msrp. I can guarantee you would be happy with them.
