Pass vs McCormack?

Well you probably don't see comparisons of these two brands because they are in different leagues price wise. Sonically I think they are both nice, musical solid state amps. However, the Pass amps tend to cost a LOT more than the McCormack amps. There is another thread that just listed comparing Pass to Krell, that's a more normal comparison.
Folks tend to compare items that are in a similar price range, whether it's amps, speakers, cars, etc. Folks don't compare BMW's to Chevy's much either.

Jim, as you noted in your OP, you really don't see these two brands compared in the archives. Swampwalker and I told you why. It's hard enough to find any Pass vs. Mccormack head to head comparison, and now you want to compare modified McCormack to Pass?? Good luck finding anyone who has some side by side experiences there.

They are both good brands with good reputations, spend as much $$$ as you are comfortable spending and enjoy the music. I believe that you have to be careful with both brands if you are planning to use a tube preamp though, impedence issues.
