I concur with cytocyles observations. I love my pass x series equipment with my thiels. They are a match made in heaven.
One thing I like about the x series amplifiers and pre-amps is they all have the same sonic characters. My auditioning of pass equipment over the years continually proves that the x-2 all the way to the x-1 are closer than x-1 to x-0. The x-0 has at least 30% blacker backgrounds and musicality and wider and deeper sound stage. I could not tell the difference from the x-0 and x-0.2
I currently use x-1 and x-350 with my thiel 2.3s. I started with x-2 and x-150. I upgraded the x-2 to the x-1 because I needed more inputs. I upgrade my x-150 to the x-350 because I plan on getting thiel 6s or 7.2s when I move out of my small non audiophile listening room.
Hope this helps
