Pass Labs X150 going to power the highs on the 4350's

[neanderthal]

I finally lucked across an X150 and got it at a good price. As I've always read here from the people that know says I want a good amp for the highs. I really wanted the Pass labs X150.5 but what I got this for ,and they don't come up all that often I had to jump.
I'm in the process of getting the Middle Atlantic rack together and everything mounted and then comes the dreaded wiring . I don't have the Bryston 10B L-R (in process of mounting rack ears to it) nor the X150 (waiting on heavy duty rack shelf) mounted in the rack yet as you can see but hope to within the next two weeks.I'll decide the final arrangement of the gear later
I'm going to try to wire this up myself, I know I can do it Iam just uneducated as to how to properly do it and eliminate ground loop,hum ect.. I can solder, I have common sense and understand reasonably quick what Iam told as long as it is explained in plain basic english...lol. Anyway I just wanted to chime in and post some pics of where Iam at lately. Sorry for the lame pics, it's really hard to take decent pics down here.

That is a sweet amp Neanderthal, nice score! How many watts is it packing? What are you using for the low end?

Have fun and let us know what you think of it once you're up and running

In the bottom pic I posted of the rack, the bottom amp is a Yamaha PC4002M and the amp above it is a Crown K2. The White 4400 equalizers are mounted on the top of the rack in the pic. I still have to mount the bryston 10B L-R and the X150. The X150 is rated at 150 8ohm.

You've assembled a real first rate set of electronics! What pre-amp will you be using?

As for grounding issues, the Whites may prove a challenge. I had a hell of a time silencing mine.

You've got a great start there.

Iam not sure on a preamp as of yet but will probably be a Pass Labs also. Pass Labs is the only thing I have never read any thing negative about.

The White 4400's are in the cabinet because it was you that recommended them a in a post on 2-18-07 when I first got the 4350's. I figured you knew by experience you knew what you were talking about by reading alot of your posts and never questioned it and left it at that.

I'm sure you'll hear from me again when I get to the wiring it up stage.
