Can you share your older Pass Labs experiences?

I had a Pass unit several years ago, and really liked the old Nakamichi SR-3a I had.  What can you share as to a good used Pass integrated or pre/power to consider?  Would be using them with a small set of Quad speakers or one of two Magnepan 1.7 or 3.7.  Thanks

I have owned Pass amps for 40 years and very highly recommend them. I only recently moved to a tube amp. They are built like tanks, have high current designs, with excellent neutral / natural  sound.

I’ve had several of their amps in my system over the years, built wonderful but not musical to my ears, I tired of them quickly YMMV.

I think, as always, if you are buying new you should listen to 3 brands:

Pass
Ayre
Luxman

Very different sounds to my ears, and among those you should pick whichever suits you best.
