| Krell FPB 300cx vs Pass X250.5 Tpk123, it's been a few years already since I last compared a Krell vs a Pass Labs X-series amp, but even than, for my ears I found the Pass Labs to be a more musical/natural sounding piece. It had all the dynamics/slam of the Krell plus the above... | |

| Sonus Faber Sound? I agree with Cello (Larry) they are very pleasant/warm sounding speakers, yet still have details and dynamics. I would not call them dark ,but sweet with great liquidity and smoothness. They remind me of some the better tube amps that I have liste... | |

| Connecting to the music. Freshpuma, I would suggest that you audtion either Acoustic Zen Silver reference II's or Matrix reference II's. They have the virtues that highenders like ,but for me they also have that natural/organic sense of real music that I find quite relaxi... | |

| What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5? Eril, in my last reponse I forgot to address your question concerning Pre-amps that are good matchs with the X.5-amps. I'm not an individual who is to enamored with tube Pre-amps, but let me share what I have heard with my own ears regarding the m... | |
| What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5? Eril, you live in a beautiful country! The closet I have gotten to New Zealand was a trip I did to Tasmania two years ago. If the MAN himself, Mr. Nelson, says that's the major differences between his amps, who am I to argue. I would just add that... | |
| What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5? Calanctus, I have no information that would put in doubt what you stated on the Pass Labs website.

| What Difference between Pass X150.5 and X250.5? Eril, this can be a little confusing unless we define which generation of X-amps we are talking about. In the original X series the X-150 became the X-150.5 when Pass decided to add the blue meter to the front of the amp, which the X-150 lacked. O... |
