Pass Labs X-1000 vs X-600


The Pass Labs X-1000 is rated at 1,000 wpc @ 8 ohms and doubles with each halving of the impedance. The X-600 is Rated at 600 wpc @ 8 ohms and also doubles with each halving of the impedance.

Puchased new, the X-1000 is $24k and the X-1000 is $16k.

I keep hearing whispers that the X-600 is the better amp. If so, in what ways?

Will someone please offer their opinion on these two amps if you've heard or owned them?

I'm considering purchasing one of these two models used. I currently run Infinity Kappa 9 speakers...and they are notorious power hogs that sometimes dip below 1 ohm.

All opinions are welcome.

Bill and Teajay,

I really appreciate your input on this.

I've decided I'm going to buy a used pair of the X-600's....I just don't have the scratch to buy new at this time. I hope to have enough cash to buy a second pair in another 6 mos or a year...I like to biamp.

thanks......mitch
