An asset is considered a sound investment when its value/performance curve is continuously upward. Pass Laboratories does not behave like the rest of the high-end audio industry; it had not increased the price of its existing product range since the 2014 launch of the current XA series in real terms. And as competitors rise and fall the XA stands unscathed in its particular performance/value proposition. We will see many more expensive concoctions from others in the coming years but if we are to forecast the future based on track records, none will perform higher for less. If one had begun saving money at some point in time to buy the XA and has now become an owner, the pair of monoblocks will still be an uncontested best buy not only to this day but for many years to come. The XA200.8. A very sound investment indeed

The Reference 330M amplifier not only delivers massive power, slam, detail and refinement from a valve-based design, it also does all this without the trepidation and limitations of the apocryphal tube amp. Ignore the substantial weight and price, and this speaker-tolerant design will slot into a high-end system as easily as any solid-state rival. All this, and the promise of a truly scintillating musical performance.

Hours (literally many) were spent trying to capture the essence of what this Trilogy 914 / 994 combo does, Even now I’m not sure my words have gone far enough. If I asked you to describe the color of a glass of red wine you could easily write a tome the size of War And Peace and still not cover everything. I feel here I’ve barely scratched the surface of how good this kit is. For the price, I think many who value a musically engaging experience plus an utterly simple and unfussy setup, the Triology Sound Systems 914 / 994 stereo system might not be beaten for quite some time. The amount of music I played through Trilogy Audio Systems’ 914 preamplifier and 994 monoblock amplifiers, plus the time I spent with each pair of loudspeakers connected, was partly because I wanted to make sure I did justice when reviewing these luxurious high-end audio products.
