Having used the Bel Canto's as mono blocks and having heard many Pass amps. It would be my thought that you would have to get to the X600 to even get close (as far as power etc) to the Bel Canto. And even then it is my opinion the Bel's sound more like live music. Unless you get into a tube amp,I am not sure how you could better the Bel. But then thats why we have so many different companies and ways they go about making products. Just a thought for you, why not spend the money on cable upgrades, front end componets before wasting time on your amp.
Pass Labs X150 v. Bel Canto Evo2 amp.
I've long heard that Pass Labs makes great sounding amps. I have small room and don't need alot of power. I have Vandersteen 3A Sig speakers and a Supratek Chenin preamp. Would the Pass Labs X150 be an improvement over the Bel Canto? Does it sound clinical and cold or does it have sufficient warmth?
