Hey nice system very similar to mine. I really like the acoustic panel work you did. I'm still working on mine. B&W speakers are a match in heaven with McIntosh. Why did you go with the pass x0.2 preamp instead of the McIntosh c500t? I've been drooling at the mc500t and putting some tubes in the system. I think its just a matter of time before I get it. Was there something you didn't like with the c500t or like more about the pass?
