Having lived with both amps the Pass can do everything that the LM can do and can do some things better, offering more detail and a larger sound stage and at the same time sounding real to life. This is using Devore Nines and Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers. The LM 845 is a great amp no question but if it were my money i would choose the Pass. A quick demo will not tell the whole story on both amps, the Pass takes at least 200 hrs. to sound it`s best while the LM takes about 100 hrs.
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
