I have lived with the PM11S3 for almost two years now and i love it! I had in my previous systems the Pass Labs X250 amp and X1 preamp combo, tried the Modwright KI200, had others tube amps and Audio Research, etc. The PM11S3 fits my needs the best! I find it has all the details I need plus to me, it was more "punchy" than the X250/X1 combo, less than the KI200, which had monstrous slam, best of the bunch, but was a bit too "bright" for me.

I would love to get another PM11S3 for bi-amping, but that's a lot of dough!
Sabai,

Thanks for the note. I, unfortunately need some high power amps as my speakers are acoustically suspended and only 86db in efficiency.
