Anyone have the Pass Labs X260.8 amps? Opinions?

Selling your XA60.5's was a big mistake IMO, if you value midrange purity.

Don't I know it. What's done is done.

I would get a tubed preamp with Pass amps.

I agree. That's in my plan.

Thanks!

I have a few friends with the X350.8 and they are over the moon happy. Glad you love yours.

I am trying to figure out whether or not to go w/ Pass Labs separates or INT ?

Jafant,

It all depends on how much power you want and how simple you want the system. I am personally not a fan of the Pass preamps, but love the amps. I agree a good tube preamp with the Pass amps can be heaven.

Joe You could always go back to Reno Hi Fi, and buy a used XA.5 amp.

If you really wanted your sound back. Newer is not always better for everyone.

I've been looking and if the right piece comes along, I may jump.

Based on the opinions of a few friends with new X350.8 amps, I am willing to give the new point 8 series a chance. I will be making the rounds to hear their systems and will have a better point of view soon in familiar systems. They are blown away with the performance of that amp, so I am comfortable picking the new series.
