I have a Pass Labs X350.5 and have owned a Threshold T400. The X350.5 is much better amp. I sold my T400 to a friend about 12 years ago to buy a Krell FPB 600 ("big mistake")and you could hear it right away. My friend still has the T400 and brought it over to see if it would beat the X350.5. The 350.5 is a much more subtantial amp. the T400 still sounds great, but the X350.5 has an effortless sound, better frequency extension, better sound stage, better transparancy, lower noise floor, better detail and much more authority. But what stands out the most is how much more dynamic the X350.5 compared to the T400
Threshold to Pass upgrade?
I'm thinking of upgrading my Threshold T400 to a Pass Labs amp, either an X350.5 or if I can stretch it, maybe a pair of XA100.5s (the upgrade bug strikes again). The Threshold is now probably around 15 years old. How does it compare to these current Pass Labs amps? The rest of the system is:
