Pass X-250.8, X-250.5 or XA-30.8...or?

@karmapolice  some questions

1.  What changed for you after listening for longer period about pass?

2. Overall how close does your pass amps get to dart performance? And which Dart do you have?

3. Have you heard any lux amps?
Thx!

Has anyone compared 250.8 or 350.8 vs XA100.8 or XA160.8 ?

Which speakers were you running and in what way was the 160.8 better ?

"I rather take the Hegel H30 over the pass 350.8. Sorry to do this to Nelson but he dropped the ball with the 350.8. I rather own the 350.5. More musicality and sweetness. The Hegel H30 beats both and it does it quite easily. Whatever pass labs is going to do next to replace the .8 series they need to truly think hard and long because I feel that the .8 series was a failure. I’m pretty much mentally retired from the .8 series from pass. Ain’t a d@mn thing I like about it. Luxman 900u mops and sweeps the floor with the 350.8. Actually, the Luxman 900u demolishes the 350.8 in every single area."

Interesting perspective.

Keith great choice. I have a feeling the YG, Pass pairing will be excellent. I talked to my local YG dealer about this, he runs BHK300s on his Sonja 1.3 (hes upgrading to 2.3 soon). I mentioned Pass and he seemed to think the BHKs would definitely be better but I think he underestimates Pass. They make fantastic amps. Please let us know how it works out.
Which Luxman did you have?
