Pass X260.8 vs Bryston 7B3

First you should choose if you want one stereo amp, or 2 mono amps, then move on from there.

??? Both are mono amps.

PASS 260.8 much better sound.

They sound different so it really depends on what sound you will like better. I know the Bryston 7B3 will have no problem driving a pair of Magnepan 3.7 speakers. I believe the Pass Labs X260.8 should have no problem either.

In what way do they differ?

@swede58 sent you a DM.

Sorry, I got it confused with the 250 which I think is a stereo amp.

Pass X260.8 vs Bryston 7B3 with Magnepan 3.7’s.

With these speakers, that have a 3 octave spread below 4ohms (that goes down to 2ohm) in the lower mids upper bass.

I’d have a tendency to go with the Bi-Polar output Brystons, as they will most likely be able to do better current delivery into that loading than the Mosfet output Pass can.
(And I always hear that slight "mosfet mist" sound some talk about)
