My understanding is the the X250.8 is a little sweeter sounding, but the X350.8 will have more power to drive difficult speakers. You may want to look at the X260.8 monos as well. Higher Class A (34wpc vs 17wpc before hitting Class AB) output to start with and might be more to your liking.
Pass Labs X 350.8 or 350.8?
I've a small listening area (about 220 square foot), and I'm using below equipments:
Esoteric K-03X CDP
Lumin S-1 Network player
ARC Ref 6 Pre-amp
Electrocompaniet AW-180 Mono-block amp
Wilson Audio Sophia 3 speaker ( In the future, maybe I will upgrade my speaker to Shasha 1/2)
I want to buy a new amp to replace my old EC AW-180 Mono amp, my choice is between Pass X-250.8 and X-350.8. Should I get X-250.8 because of my small listening area? Or I better to buy X-350.8 for long term? THX.
