All of the amps that you and others have mentioned are great choices. I’ve had Pass Labs and now I’m using Krell. The Krell that I’m currently using is the Evolution 302e. It sounds very different to the previous Krell’s, even different than the non “e” evo’s, and closer to the Pass X series that I’ve owned. Which is better? That’s a matter of taste as they’re all extremely capable amps. The newer Bryston amps like the 4B SST3 are also very good. I was actually surprised at how good it sounded as I had owned an SST which wasn’t as good as my old Aragon 4004mkii. You get that awesome Bryston warranty as well. I’ve seen lots of love for Coda but have yet to listen to one. I also have a First Watt F3 which is excellent but it tends to run out of juice (18w iirc) when I get the urge to rock out
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.
