Bel Canto EvO 200.2 monoblocks vs Pass X350

Go with Pass, Bel Canto not even in the same class.

nod goes to Pass for me for warmer sound and overall dynamics

With the Evo's, you get a SET-like liquidity that you'll not really get with the Pass. In other words, the Evos sound tube-like, but with a much lower noise floor than most tube amps. The Pass will sound like ss-great ss, but ss nonetheless.

Having owned AP speakers and both of the other amps I would say it is a matter of personal preference. Remember that the Pass need major wall juice whereas the BCs are more efficient; ergo, unless you have a stiff AC you may have to upgrade there to take advntage of the PL.

I am interested in trying some bel 200.2's mono's. I am currently talking with a guy about buying his set
Do those have tons of power with the libra's ? What do you find lacking, and what are the strong points ?

I use avanti's, and prior to that the virgos, tempos, sparks. I am using some 2's on mine right now and it's a very good match. I've tried a couple solid state amps with audio physic, and the alephs are far and away the best so far. Fast, but they do lack power compared to other ss amps. That is my primary complaint. I don't know if I should go with a bigger amp, or an audio physic sub. The avanti's have very fast bass down to 30hz, so it's tough to integrate them with anything.
