Integrated Amp with HT by-pass


I currently use Pass XA30.5 amp + Pass XP-10 line stage. Love Pass sound. Looking to see if I can go integrated route without giving up much in sound quality. Budget is approximately $6k ($7k max).

Pass integrateds don't have HT by-pass.

I bought two integrated amps this summer, both with HT bypass. The first is the Harman Kardon HK990, and the second is the Marantz PM-11S3. The HK sounds so good...I literally haven't opened the box of my Marantz. I will likely sell it. The HK is that good. It's worth a look.

There is also a company on here that modifies them, and I'm going to have that done this spring as well. :-D

Meambler,

I haven't had a chance to update the HK990 through Stereo Dave's. I did, however, have him upgrade my Pioneer Elite receiver a year ago. It sounds fantastic, and I will definitely upgrade the HK990 in the future.
