I have owned the Pass int 60 and it was traded to reno for a int 250. The 60 is a bit lusher in the mids. The 250 is a bit brighter but has more detail and wider soundstage. Im not sure I could say one is better than the other. I feel is just more a matter of taste. Of curse the 250 can drive lower impedance better. Opinions are nice, but you really have to listen.
Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
I'm curious if anyone has had a chance to listen to these two integrated amplifiers.
I know the Int 25 is basically the XA25 with a preamp. The Int 60 runs class A to 30 watts (and uses the same preamp) so maybe it's more closely related to the XA30.8, though I don't believe I've read that anywhere.
Anyway, I think from a power perspective both will be fine with my 90db floorstanders. My main question is which is the warmer, smoother of the two amps? Even if that means being darker and more veiled, I would want to go with that amp!
Thanks.
