I’ve only owned three different sets of amps: McIntosh MC452, PS Audio BHK300 mono’s and a set of PL 60.5’s. I’ve ran a McIntosh C2500, C50, PS Audio BHK Pre and a PL XP-22. Every time I swapped something out, it was in the pursuit of something “more.” The MC452, I sold because though it sounded fine at moderate volumes, if I got on it, you could hear it break up/taper off at the higher volumes. I moved to the BHK mono’s which I felt sounded damn fine and had power for hours. We recently moved and I was no longer going to have a nice big dedicated space, so I downsized to a set of PL 60.5’s and Harbeth Super HL5+’s. I’m sure there are other systems out there that sound better, but to me, it sounds very relaxed and organic. A guitar sounds like a guitar, I’m able to hear the decay on some recordings last a bit longer, drum tom’s have a little more ring to them...overall, it just sounds right to my ears.
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
