You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss

I love my Pass Labs Xa100.8 paired with Wilson Sasha.  Other combos sound different and have their strengths and weaknesses. Often been tempted to try other amps but I always prefer my own. Recently Devialet caught my attention. Tried the previous generation Devialet but did not have the weight/ slam or mid range texture of my amp/MSB DAC. 

Any thoughts on how a pair of KEF Reference 3 speakers would work with a Pass Labs 30.8 or 30.5? I would be pairing the amplifier up with a Backert Labs Rhumba 1.3 Extreme.

Coda amps are a good alternative to Pass (owned by ex-Threshold engineers). A big difference is the level of marketing.

I have owned pretty much every amp out there as a 45 year old "recovering audiophile" who has been involved in the hobby since I was 14. I am very blessed because of the publications that I own/ed that I get access to a lot of cool gear.

Pass is at the top of my list these days. Class-A ones specifically. I want solar panels before I get my next pair of mono blocks however as they draw hard from the wall. 

"Practicing audiophiles" will wince when I give you my real objection (other that I am a little house poor right now and need an entirely new kitchen at my new place) which is Pass Amps are just a LITTLE too WIDE to fit into an equipment rack and I don't put amps on the floor - ever. No cable mess either. 

With that said: they are a client and they make about the best amp I can think for the money. Don't get me wrong... I love me some Krell, D'agostino, ARC, Classe, Mark Levinson etc... I just like the tube-like sound without the tube troubles. Also pretty fair prices (retail) considering.
