Well, let me start out with the disclaimer - I'm a Clayton dealer. But I was a Clayton owner before I became a dealer. The M100 presents an excellent combination of liveliness and harmonic richness. However, before I could recommend this (or any other) amp, I'd want to know what speakers you were planning to drive with 'em.
You mention Pass amps - another excellent line (which I do not sell). I'd say that the Claytons do some things better than the Pass X series amps, and the Pass amps do some things better. Once again, it depends on what qualities you want to maximize.
