Test setup
Contents
We connected the Xavian Premio Esclusivo to two systems: a system with the Pass Labs and Bryston and a system around the Yamaha A-S2200.
-
- Pass Labs XP-12 pre-amp
- Bryston 4B SST3 power amplifier
- Yamaha A-S2200 integrated amp
- Metrum Acoustics Pavane and Ambre
- Driade Flow speaker cables
- Isotek Titan EVO3 filter for the Bryston
- Kemp Powerstrip 8plus for the rest of the system
What we wanted to find out is how far this Xavian grows. After all, the Pass Labs with Bryston costs 15,000 euros. The Yamaha is 3200 euros. That’s a significant difference. Also in power. In short: how does the Xavian play on both sets?
