I didn't like the sound using my Mac C2300 tube pre and a Pass Labs XA25 Class A amp.I know, I read the review where the XA25 was ideal for the 30.2's but not in my house..too lean and thin..I replaced those with my Vinnie Rossi Lio integrated and they sound so much better. Now I am trying out a Rotel 1552 MKII amp using the LIO as a tube pre and I am very impressed with the little Rotel's sound. Big soundstage and lot's of detail. I plan to hook the Mac back up, this time to the Rotel amp..sold the Pass Labs XA 25,..and see how that compares to the LIO.
