Pass XA 25 or Bryston 3B3?


Both available lightly used for about $3700.  For use with Classe DR 5 preamplifier and Joseph Audio Pulsars in a medium sized room (13' by 16").

Any opinions or experience?

I am a big fan of Nelson Pass, but his Class A amps put out LESS as the speaker impedance drops. Check the specs on your speakers and see if the impedance drops, especially in the low frequency region. Any drops below 6 ohms or so will work against the Pass amp. Too Bad!  You might check out the Strake Sound AD4.320. A great amp (check Google for a review by "Home Theater something or other") and it's on sale at 40% off for Black Friday. I just ordered one. Over 200 wpc available for Stereo into 2 ohms!
