I have had both the Pass X250 and the Omicrons in my system and compared them side by side. I chose the Omicrons. If you like the sound of your Classe than I would go with the Omicrons. I definately found the Pass to be dry(although a great amp) and not as musically satisfying as the Classe. I am not sure how the X600 compares to the X250, but I think they are probably pretty similar in sound. Good Luck.
Pass Labs X600.5 or a Pair of Classe Omicron's?
Time to make a choice. I know I want the amps close to my speakers for a short speaker cable run. It's not possible for me to A/B these amps. I'm looking at Pass Lab's X600's, around $6K used, (thinking I can do the .5 upgrade a little later on) OR the dual mono Classe Omicron, around $6K used, (thinking I can add a second one to run them bridged for each channel later on). Anyone with experience or opinions?
My system: Revel Salons, Classe CP-65 preamp, APL 3910 digital source. Not sure about cabling yet (ideas & suggestions welcome), but probably Transparent Ultra. Ref prices are crazy!
Thanks,
Doc
