What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@jetter Yeah... I under estimated the volume again.  Definitely hitting peaks over 100db+Oh, on the subject of Pass Labs no question they underestimate power and the class A bias.  Bias meter barely moving.87db 6ohm nominal load on the 5000's.  Do...

@dgarretson I was just making sure I could smell what the Rock...was... cookin!I will say however, right now my wife and kids are not home, I am in my audio room with my 250.8, XP12, and my Ohm Walsh 5000’s and getting my dose of Metal and Classic...

@bo1972 I've never heard of Tru-Fi, is this a company, something you sell/rep work for?  Just never heard of it. 
Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years
250.8.  Outstanding. 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
@bo1972 So here is the thing.  Even when talking about the "realism" of instruments.  I would make the argument that anything amplified - ultimately doesn't have much "3d" sound.  Electric Guitar/Bass in particular.   Anytime you are at a concert ... 
Great deal on some Salks . . .
@rja Well, I'm within 2.5 hours, and get over there for work sometimes.  I want to go listen, but I don't have it in the budget right now (I did, but my 16 year old may need a car soon...)I'm sure I will hear them soon enough, I may go to Axpona a... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
@tomic601 Did not know that on the 5a Carbon, those are a really good speaker.... something to watch for used down the road. Wonder if a replacement is coming? Quattro CT is really a nice speaker, and all I probably need for my space. But they jus... 
Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
@hifiman5 I'm stunned.OP, if you can afford the Vandersteens... they are absolutely outstanding.  In the uber expensive department speakers I've heard, properly set-up they are just unreal.The Blades are OK.  I've heard them outperformed by lower ... 
Great deal on some Salks . . .
Suspect they will be closer to 10k than 5k for the pair... but they will be a good value for sure! 
Looking for a 2.1 setup for music and home theater
Would look used on speakers to stretch your budget. Somethinng like spatial M3 s turbos are dynamic as you are used to klipsch. It’s a really good speaker for the money. Or depending on the size of your room, I like the OHM walsh speakers bang for...

I’m hoping to hear them soon.  Jim is a good guy and builds a great speaker.  Those look super cool to boot!

As usual Troy, you hijacked a thread to push your wares.I like meters also.  Just think that new coda looks like tic tac toe board.  I’m sure it sounds great. I’ve stated that elsewhere. Hell I’ve talked to Doug, he’s a good guy.  He thinks meters... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Back to an earlier comment.With Pass (250.8 in my case).  When I say they might not be the ultimate in top end resolution, I will clarify by saying this.  You don't lose any information, all the notes are there etc.  But say something like cymbals... 
What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?
Knew it was just a matter of time before Troy showed up and told us why his products are superior to Pass.Predictable and amateur. The OP specifically asked about Pass, not comparisons to others, said there may be better amps, but specifically ask... 
Spatial Audio M3 Tubo S open baffle speaker review
I had the chance to demo these in my home last year.  They are a very nice, fun speaker.  They do a lot right and for their price are really good.They do not seem to hold value very well (looking at the used market).  Dynamic as all get-out, great...
