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

@cakyol The cost of the amp does not quantify the improvement in sound you are getting. If class A/B is what you are considering then getting a good implementation with first 20 watts of class A into your speaker given the impedance would be nice. The rest can be class A/B, make sure the amp never reaches clipping. Some speakers need high current and good voltage swings, so amp that can do that is what you should consider.

I was looking for same and was considering the significantly less expensive and some not so famous amps by Coda, Odyssey, Parasound, ATI and ATC P2 etc. 

I did settle for Benchmark AHB2 however. 

I would wager that if you level match the above amps you may not hear any difference at normal listening levels. My preamp is Legacy Wavelet which is more expensive than the amp, it comes with room correction and are integrated to work well with Legacy Speakers.

only one mention of PS Audio.
does this brand have no love here?
i am in the saving mode.
when i get closer, PSA will be on my radar.

If you got $15,000 to spend I would highly recommend the PS Audio  BHK-300 mono amps and their matching pre-amp.  The sound this combination makes is in my opinion the very best bargain in all of the high end.  Best of luck.

I had to fire up the xa30.5 with all the chatter on Pass.....    Long story short.   Aside from the accolades on Pass products I am equally impressed what this man has done for the community --the average or not so average listener and even more so the DIY'er.    Very few in such positions of ability and knowledge will share it with the masses and mix it up at DIY events.

There’s less love for Vitus Audio. But that isn’t a surprise given they’re a Danish manufacturer & only have a handful of Dealers in the US.
