I have owned amps from Bryston, Atoll, Sanders, Marantz and now a pass labs xa30.8. All of these amps drove magnepan .7s to good levels but none of them connected me more emotionally to the music than the pass labs amp did. After discovering that amp liks 4 ohm loads I have tried out various other 4 ohm speakers to great effect with the xa30.8 and loved each one.
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
