Don't worry about the Line Magnetic current capability, I had the 518ia powering my Rockport Avior's which drop to 1.73 ohms in the bass section (just like wilsons) and the 518ia is amazing with the 845 tubes. effortless. I have never owned a Pass amp but I have owned 3 pairs of Lamm's M1.1,M2.1, ML2.1's and the Line Magnetic has the magic but is a little more open and clearer on the top end. I have been curious about the Pass class A products in the past, so please post how it sounds.
Line Magnetic 845 Premium or Pass Labs INT-60?
I’m considering 2 similarly priced systems - Line Magnetic 845 Premium ($8000 USA) and Pass Labs INT-60 ($9000). I was considering the Pass, but always been curious about 845 SET amps.
Speakers are high-end DIY Scan-Speak 13” 3-way (86dB), 8” 2.5-way (89dB).
Questions. Topology and power aside:
1. Which has a more convincing 3D spatial and holographic imaging?
2. Better dynamics and frequency response?
3. Any experiences with these or similar brand amps?
Thanks
