Threshold SA/4E or Pass X-250??


Any one had a chance to spend time with these two amps? What opinions have you formed? I will be driving either Harbeth SHL5s or Harbeth 40.1s with either of them. I am mainly wondering what sonic differences i might hear? Thanks for any help.

Thanks Unsound. I called and he gets in around 8:30 my time tonight so i will call him back. Also called and talked to Threshold about the cost of a basic rebuild and re-bias of the amp. I Hope the SA/4e does as well with my Harbeths as it did with the Thiels when I heard it.
I can't speak for the Harbeths, but I do share your enthusiasm for Threshold with Thiels. Best of luck.
As nice as the amp was with the Thiels, didnt work out to great with the Harbeths. I will keep listening until I sell it, in case I change my mind. But will probably try either the Pass or one of the McCormack amps after I recover my $$$
While I'm not a big fan of the Harbeths, I'd hazard a guess that a McCormack might a better fit with them. Best of luck.
Hello Tom,

Could you voice why your threshold did not work for you ,did you have Jon perform any mods?
