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!

I think they are bright and ruthlessly revealing.  I accept that a lot of music I like is not well mastered and prefer a warmer sound.  I am also very sensitive to brightness (tinnitus from an accident as a child).  For someone that wants to hear only what is on the recording, they are great.  I prefer to kick back, enjoy the music, and error on the side of sweet rather than revealing.  For that reason, my Magnepan 3.5s in my main system and Totem Mites on my desktop (on of Totems few warmish speakers) speak to me.  
Why is it ridiculous any more than the post asking what owners of Magnepans like and dislike about the speakers? He asks a legitimate question and from what I have seen, he has said Pass never has spoken to him, not that he hates them. If people don’t want to respond, they are free not to. I know a lot of people like Wilsons. They are nice speakers, but I can’t stand the way they sound.
