Pass X250.5 or Plinius SA 250


Anyone have opinions on the differences between these amps? I am in the market but can not hear either in my area.

After hearing my Plinius SA100 MKIII and a friends Pass X150 many times (in seperate systems) with lots of different gear my impression is that the Pass is more neutral with a more open sound and greater air though I would suspect some may find it a little lightweight in midrange. I found the Plinius to have terrific (tubelike) midrange though lacking the last bit of air and a little leaden in the otherwise terrific bass.

I know these are not the amps you asked about but I am a believer in the 'house sound' of manufacturers and hope my comments reflect some of what you may find on your own.
