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!

Hello there. I am in my mid sixties and so I can't hear what I did in my twenties but...Brightest kills enjoying Hi-fi for me. I've had many Amplifiers over the years a Nice Krell 600c with a VTL 5.5 Ver.1 with B&W N Speakers, then moved to  fourteen year run with McIntosh MC 501mono blocks audio Research Reference 3 preamp and Tyler Acoustics Speakers both great systems with various front ends. My current system Pass Labs XA100.5 mono blocks, Sonus Faber Amati Homage Speakers with a Modwright LS 36.5DM full Tube preamp by far the best sounding system I've owned, it's true IMO that a little bit of colored sound is pleasing to my ears although I must say I could have lived and enjoyed any of the systems I've owned simply 
Pass Labs Class A Amplifiers are Amazing sounding and well made, please try to enjoy the music!
