i don't know about the price but they are some smooth sounding amps.i had the the pass 3 but not the 5. the 2's are way ,way pass the 3's.i really cannot see you going wrong with purchasing a pr. shop around because i underpriced mine for a quick sale, there may be someone ready to do the same.i have cary 300se signatures,cary 805 c's and they sound great but not better than the pass 2's.
thinking back i think i sold mine just to try something new.some audio items i've learned just sound right .
good luck !! TY
