Nelson Pass has a long history of designing reliable & wonderful amps. I owned a
Threshold 4000 for 25 years before selling it and buying the X250.8. Yes, they run hot & yes, the X250.8 does have the "Pass " sound, which makes it very easy to enjoy and live with. Once you own it I cannot imagine an unhappiness UNLESS you are one who continues to compare A to B....on its own it is great....additionally, you will be hard pressed to find a company with better customer service, though I doubt you will ever need it...
Pass labs krell parasound amps
Hello, Looking for feedback on the best sound and reliability of these amps, how do they compare to one another. Looking to spend 5-6k on used amp from these choices: Pass Labs x250.8, Krell Duo 300xd, Parasound jc5 or Mcintosh Mc312.
I have Mark Levinson no526 preamp and Revel 228be speakers and like a very open, transparent sound with deep soundstage.
Thanks for your response.
