I have the Pass X250 and do not find it mechanical at all. Sounds fluid to me. If I were you, I'd find a better way to make your selection, since you're spending quite a bit of money, and my opinion, like everyone elses, doesn't amount to anything, except what WE like. You'll have to find out what YOU like on your own. I can't make a comparison of the Pass and Parasound, since I haven't heard the latter, so I won't say to use either. Only you can make that comparison, with the system you have, in the room you use, to make your final choice. Best of luck.
Pass Lab X250 or Parasound Halo A21
Looking for a 2ch amplifier, would like to know what is a better buy: a used Pass Lab X250 (with 1 year guarantee) or a new Parasound Halo 21. They are both 250w x2, and they cost pretty much the same. Are they really comparable? I have no chance to listen to any of them as I live in a remote location, so your input would be highly appreciated.
I am currently using a Pio SC07 a PIO SACD PDD9 and Paradigm S100v4.
Thanks for you help.
