Hello
I have been a Avalon owner for about 4 years now (Transcendent for the last 2 years)....... I love alot about these speakers, but there is one thing that i have begone missing in the sound.
The soundstage is perfect and the dynamics, but i miss fullnes in the sound. I would`n say that they are thind in the sound, but the still lack some richtness from the upper midrange and down.
If i should go for another speaker with all the characters of Avalon, but with more ritchness and fuller midtrange, with should that be ?
I own Pass Labs XA100,5 - Hovland HP200p - Eera Tentation - TW Raven One/ Kuzma 4 point/ Lyra Titan i - Cardas Clear - Shunyata power - DaaD acoustic

Years ago I used Hovland HP100/Jeff Rowland 2 (with Battery power supply) driving a pair of Avalon Avatars. Great speakers, but tonally a little polite.
After the Avalons I went with Wilsons, from X1 series 2 to X2 series 2 right now. I believe you should give Wilsons a try, and I think your Hovland/Pass would be really good with Wilsons.
My own experience with Sf, having owned SF Guarneris and Strads is that they sound very good with lots of amps...but to get great tight fisted powerful bass...I found a big change with gryphon antileon and lots of current. I don't know your amp...I am surprised it's not working for you based on reputation. Have you tried an even more high current Pass? Just curious if it is the amp in your case.Yes the Pass and Wilson combo would be really good. And maybe i will go for that at some point. Because the Pass and Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario that i have right now, i dont think that this is the right combo.........
The Amati Annies are playing wery beautiful, but i'm really missing the kick and attack in the bass. I know that the Annies can play like that, but they dont dó it here.......

I agree with Lloyd. I used the XA100.5 on my Sonus Fabers for a while and it sounded very good, but only after inserting the Xs300 did I realize the bass control and attack I think you're referring to. You don't need the Xs300s but you might give the new Pass .8 amps a try. I think they have a 160.8 and a 200.8 that would probably give you what you're looking for.
I dont think i need a bigger AMP, because no matter how loud i play, the needle on the XA100.5 dont move a tiny bit...
