Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?

I have about 15k to spend on an amp/preamp/integrated amp.

I mostly listen to smooth jazz like Dave Koz, Rippingtons, Brian Culbertson etc.... and loud.

I have yet to hear any amp that comes close to Pass Labs.

Your experiences pls ?

Thanks for all your recommendations.  
There seems to be many choices.  I have to listen to them all.

The ONLY concern with Pass I have is the furnace effect.  But I guess class A has its cost......

I grew up with JBL Century L100s and I am very close to getting either JBL S3900 or JBL S4700.

They are not talked of much in these threads but I have a thing for JBLs :-)

Have you tried any class AB amps from Pass ?
Your XA100 is class A and they are notorious for being power hogs.
If you live in Alaska, you do not need a separate heater with class A amps :-)
