Pass X260.8 vs Bryston 7B3

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)

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

@swede58 sent you a DM.

In what way do they differ?

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.

PASS 260.8 much better sound.

??? Both are mono amps.

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