Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC
George, you’re right regarding current into low impedance. My comments on the D300 vs int 250 were strictly based what I was hearing with my ears. Same old story...preferences. HOWEVER, remember, I’ve not yet heard the int 250. It’s on order. I’ve... 
Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC
I think the int 250 is the equal of the D300 but they sound different from one another. Both are excellent integrated amps and extremely well made. I’ve had a difficult time choosing between the two myself but ended up going with the int 250 and t... 
Hidden Gems in Pre-Owned Solid State Power Amplifiers?
About anything Pass Labs. They make darn good stuff at a very high level of quality. Very strong line of components, IMHO.

Pass Labs. Their stuff is extremely hard to beat. SQ and craftsmanship as good as it gets. Customer service at it’s very best. Nothing not to like. One of my ear’s very favorite flavors of amp. Their entire line is consistently, superbly, built. 
Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
Mmmm...guess I didn't have my facts straight. The 600/650 are class A. Disregard my post. 
Luxman L-509X
I auditioned a 509x a little over a month ago. It sounded good, no doubt. Great integrated. But it just didn't grab me or excite like the int. Had nothing to do with the quality of it's sound or build. It was more to do with it's sonic personality...

If you ignore the price tag, based on performance, I think the Pass Labs int 250 should be included. 
Luxman L-509X
Eric, agreed that the 509x and int 250 are both superb sounding amps and both should be listened to before making a decision. I had the opportunity to audition both the int 60 and 509x and one sounds as good as the other. My ears just prefer the i...

As long as you're looking in the $10,000+ price range and if you can stretch your budget a bit more, I'd seriously consider the Pass Labs int 250. Outstanding amp from what I've read. Same with the int 60. 
How do you owners of the Pass Labs int 250 like them?
Yeah, I’ve had to pass up (no pun intended) some great buys. And not just amps. But I can’t purchase anything til January anyway. Since the int 250 is actually a custom made amp for each customer, except for demos, I’m committed to my dealer. I wo... 
I have to downsize big time, any ideas on integrated amps and smaller 3 way speakers
Maybe the smaller Harbeths? They're given very high marks on the web. 
Pass Labs or Devialet
FWIW, I've made the final choices for my amp and source.After a full day of integrated amp auditions, Pass Labs int 250, MSB ADC V Discrete DAC/streamer with second power supply, and the base Roon. Should be all set. Will order everything January ... 
How do you owners of the Pass Labs int 250 like them?
I auditioned the 509x and, strangely enough, I found it didn’t really grab me as much as some of the other amps I tried...Simaudio 340ix, VAC 700i, Pass int 60, NAIM Supernait 3, Hegel H390, and Gryphon D300. My top two picks out of that bunch (to... 
Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?
I would say that Pass Lab's products are certainly up there with the best of the best. There will be an infinity of opinions regarding what is "the best". There are currently just so many top shelf products out there. I just auditioned seven of th...
