Pass Then vs. Pass Now
@jjss49  Which of the Pass amps you tried could handle the Maggie 3.7’s?  
Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390
Im thinking of adding a luxman to hear what all the fuss is about.  Don’t forget the Diablo 300 and Dag Progression int.    
Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
@audiojan  ”Gryphon Diablo 300. 950W/channel into 2ohm!!!!” And a lot of current; 238 ampere !!! according to measurements in a Swedish HiFi-mag.  
High Current Integrated Options for Manger Speakers
The Gryphon Diablo 300 is a VERY HIGH current integrated. 238A!  
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
@audiofound I have heard both the int250 and Diablo 300 but not in the same system. What would you say is the sonic difference?  
Current Pass integrateds?
I compared an int250 against Accuphase E800 and Boulder 866 at a dealer. I preferred the Pass.  
Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Pass Labs XA series
For low sensitivity speakers the Diablo 300 is probably a better match while the Essence is the better amp with more efficient speakers. @koslekt1 Interesting to hear that you preferred the Diablo 300 over the XA160.8’s.  
gryphon amps
Dutch?! No, Gryphon is Danish!  
Pass Labs XA30.8
@cwlondon  @bobheinatz  Some people like the .5’s better, I for one care less for them.  
Gryphon Diablo vs. McIntosh C2700/MC611
Has anyone compared the Diablo300 to Pass? (Like 250int or XP22/X350.8)  
Integrated amp to go with Magnepan 3.7i
D’Agostino Progression integrated is a great match with 3.7’s. I would also consider Gryphon Diablo 300 and Pass Int 250.  
D'Agostino Progression Integrated Amp
@bruce_1 Have you by chance compared the Progression Int to the Pass point 8 series like the Int250 or separates like XP22/X350.8?….or the Gryphon Diablo 300? I have heard that the Prog Int is a very good match with Magnepans.  
After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?
Anyone compared D’Agostino Progression Integrated or Gryphon Diablo 300 to Pass Labs separates (XP22/X260.8)?  
Boulder 866 experience? Users?
I compared the Boulder 866 against a Pass Int250. The 866 was perhaps more neutral but sounded a bit restrained compared to the int250 which sounded more powerful and fleshed out.  
Luxman m-900u owners - quick question
@smodtactical  I am also interested to hear how Pass compares to Luxman. Based on what I’ve heard/read the 900u is not a punchy amp. The 350.8 seems to be fuller sounding with more bass. They are identitically priced here in Sweden.
