I can vouch for the Pass 0s. It blew away any solid state amp I compared it to. I heard friends jaws hitting the floor when my Martin Logan Quest's started playing. I would set them up by telling them it was "only" a 40 watt amp. Other amps that I also have enjoyed are a Plinius SA-100 MKIII and an ARC 100.2 both at 100 watts per channel. Since I own a pair of Coincident Partial Eclipse speakers, I can drive them with an AES DJH Superamp and have not even considered solid state. Good luck finding a match for your speakers.
Comparisons between Pass Labs and Pass/Threshold
Can anyone offer listening comparisons between any of the new Pass Lab amplifiers and the older Pass-designed Threshold equipment? I presently own both the Pass/Threshold S300 and the S550e, the former purchased new and the latter purchased used/mint. Those are the two older Pass amps I know best. Do they have close counterparts in Pass Labs amps? Is it worth trading up? Those are the kinds of questions I am most interested in. Thanks much.
