I have no input on the amps themselves, but it being summer my thoughts go to heat. The Pass idles at close to 400 watts, something to consider.
Monos Sim Moon M400 versus Pass 260.8
Not too long ago I wrote asking about Sim Moon 861 due to the great reviews.
My financial situation has changed and someone suggested the M400. But others have suggested the Pass 260.8.
I have found Pass hit or miss with the few models I have auditioned in terms of musicality and involvement. Maybe as a critic noted there is a touch of restraint. They are also 100lbs each versus the M400’s 33lbs. The prices for both are doable. And I must have balanced capability.
It is difficult for me to audition both. I like the fact with Sim one can ’audition’ a component for a year and receive 100% towards an upgrade.
Has anyone had a chance to hear both and have any thoughts? My pre is an arc ref10.
Thank you.
