High end Class D amps?
I have limited experience with Class D, but the new GanFet-based class D amps seem a step up in sound quality, offering tubelike tonality and greater harmonic depth.    
Quandary
You've mentioned you want to hear the Pass sound.  Why not just go to a dealer's showroom and hear a Pass amp?  Surely, somewhere in NYC there is a Pass dealer with amps in stock.  Road trip!  BTW, I have an XA30.8 and love it, but moving it aroun...

InnuOS Sense 2.6.0.
Yea, it ties the room together :)  
Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
