Pass INT-250 for B&W 800's

The more I look at the Gryphon Diablo 300 the more it’s the amp for you, it sticks out 300w into 8ohms and still belts out 950w into 2ohms!!! For an integrated this is unsurpassed from what I’ve seen, and should mate perfectly with the B&W800’s and their heavy load.

The extreme high current capability of the Diablo 300 allows it to double its output to 600 Watts in a 4 Ohm load and deliver a massive 950 Watts into 2 Ohms.

If you like the Pass sound which I do you should have no problems with the 250 plenty of power and current. It pushes my Maggie's without blinking.

The Maggies are just a straight benign resistive 4-6ohm load, nothing like the B&W800’s
And the Gryphon will give even more of that Class-A sound.

My friend a very good tech, has the 800’s and owned my NC500’s (Belcanto ref600m copies) monoblocks with linear supplies, and they could not drive the 800’s to his satisfaction, now he drives them with this like I have also, and it does sound so much better. As an integrated for your speakers you won't go passed the Gryphon Diablo 300.

Yes, the Pass will push them, and push them well.

I wouldn't give it a second thought.  That new MA12000 does look pretty killer though!

Fwiw, I never found my 802d3 to be very strong in bass, despite trying many different high end electronics.
