For what it's worth, I've been using a Pass X-150 with ProAc 2.5's for the past 18 months, but I'm now feeling it's time to move on, possibly to Plinius or Chord or something else. The X-250 or 350 might be a different story, however.
Pass X250/350 /Plinius SA250/Classe CAM350's/Sim
I am seeking to upgrade my amplification.
My current setup-
CD- Cary 303
Pre- ARC LS12
Amp- Classe CA150
Spkr- Proac Response 2.5's
While I am generally satisfied, I have a bad case of "upgrade-itis" and the family CFO (my wife) has given the OK.
I've been considering the following based on my research (I am located in arural area, so demoing is impossible- listening at dealers in the course of my travels is unreliable at best)-
Pass Labs X250 or 350
Plinius SA250 mkIV
Classe CAM 350 monoblocks
Simaudio W10 monoblocks
Sorry, I'm just not a tube kind of person.
(I am also considering going to the Proac Response 3.8"s in the future, so the amplifier needs to be OK for those as well.
Any ideas/insights are appreciated.
