Hi Ozzy,

can you share a little more about your DIY HFT Bell tweak.

I take it you got some 1/4" copper caps but what did you use to put inside.

I was at a guys place and experienced what initial looked like bare room, no room acoustic panels or even plants noticeable but actually had HFT's + the FEQ - most defiantly transformed the space. Was nice enough to remove and go through the process, I was kinda shocked with the difference and now intrigued with what you wrote.

Hi Ozzy it appears that you are having fun. Here's a thought for you, replace the Pass amp with the "CAT" Stereo Sig. amp. I had this hooked-up to my Andra's just unbelievable, the mid-range, highs and three "D" imaging was breathless. The bass was even better than my Pass X600.5's go figure, just so much more realistic. If I had the Andra's currently the "CAT" amp would be a no brainer and would be mated up with them for sure. I was shocked with the experience, the "CAT" was the best amp by far that I had hooked-up with them and had no issues driving them nor running out of juice. The "CAT" amp actually produced even less heat over all than both of my Pass amps combined.

Ozzy, yes I am enjoying the 600.5's. Regarding the pics, they were just showing the Andra's on the Sistrum's (SP1's not SP101's) I had already deleated them but I will re-shoot and send to you.

I would recomend you speak to Robert of Sistrum but I would say your amp but he might recommend other than this.

Ozzy I have the PASS X-600.5's hooked-up now in my system and really enjoying them, I have to say they out perform the Mac's in every area. This is the first, other amps I have tried I would prefer them in one area over the Mac's and possibly two but not over all and I would end up keeping the Mac's until now. So now I have the bug and I want to try the XA-160.5's along with my original short list consisting of the CAT and LAMM. Once I sell my Mac's I'll get one of the three to compare.

Ozzy forgot to mention it was two X 350.5 amps.

Hi Ozzy, your system is looking great. It is going to be interesting I just bought a pair of Pass X 600.5's. I heard a pair of X 350.5's along with McIntosh 501's in the the same system at a dealers hooked-up to Swan speakers, I preferred the Pass over the Mac's. The pre used was a Hovland 200, I will say that I defiantly do prefer my current system's set-up over the one I heard but what I heard intrigued me enough to buy a pair of X 600.5's to try.
