Pass Labs vs ARC

Good Holidays to everyone.

Anybody have enough direct experience with the Ref 5 SE vs the XP25 to offer an opinion?

Also, any general opinions on ARC vs Pass would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

I lean heavily to tubes and haven't had an issue with any setup being too tubey sounding, although have a blend of ss and tube has a certain sensibility to it. Perhaps that's why the Ref 2se is on the cool side, to keep it from sounding bloated and muffled.
