Also, my speakers are bright (Accutron ceramic tweeters), and I have not found any of my pass products bright or harsh. I also used an int30a on Thiel 2.4s (bright aluminum tweeters) and found it an intoxicatingly beautiful combination.
You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss
So I'm genuinely curious about this, and I'd like your thoughts.
You: Are a current pass owner who has tried a number of other amps and stuck with Pass.
Please discuss your speakers, your pass and what other amps you feel your current set up bested.
I won't opine, but may ask questions to those who are not specific enough.
One thing I've heard a lot is the terms "refined." I don't know what this means, so if you can compare to other amps with more detail, would appreciate that.
Thanks!
Erik

I have Coincident PRE’s and have used Coincident Frankenstein 300bs, Atma-Sphere M60’s, a lyngdorf tdai-3400, pass labs xa25, and first watt f4s on them. In this system, the first watt f4s are the best of the bunch. Extended, clean, lightly sweet with a beautiful soundstage and precise imaging. Currently building a pair of diy sit3s to try as well. Just a fabulous company making wonderful amplifiers for all the right reasons. |
@richdirector Nelson pass uses tannoys. You'll find various discussions of them if you search... And you can probably get some good discussion of pass amp recommendations by posting over at the pass labs forum on diyaudio and asking what might be the best fit for your speakers... https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/ |
