I have owned the X350.5 and while it was commanding of all the sound, it was lacking in bass and slightly rolled off on the top. Belive it or not, I replaced it with a pair of Wyred 4 Sound SX1000 monoblocks and couldn't be happier.
Major differences in heat output, weight, cost, and sound (of course). But for $2400 versus $5500 used for a Pass, you can't go wrong. Wyred recommends 300 hours break in, I found that 20 hours got them going nicely and now with over 350 hours they are really fantastic.
Don't scoff. Give them a try. I was skeptical, but now am very happy. Much better than Rowland 201s by far as well.
