out of context...but i'll stick my 2 cents in anyway......take a listen to the levinson no.334, i think you will be amazed.....i was!! just a thought.........if you have to buy a pass or sa 250......plinius would be my choice.
I can relate. Own 3.0 and Plinius 100 MkIII and seem that no amount of wattage is enough. In this case i would vote for Pass. More transparent. But Mc Cormack 500 even better! IMHO!
Hi, I'm the one who suggested the X350 to you on AA. I own the X350 and a pair of X600's in my 7.1 setup. The plinius is a very nice sounding amp and I don't think you will feel cheated. I agree that the plinius is on the warmer side. The Pass is more neutral,has more power and represents a better value on the used market. Their customer service is second to none. Do a search. They are a great group of people.
With Dyns, Krell or Plinius are more typical combos. I think the Dyns need a bit of excitement, so would vote for Krell. However, i would also use a tubed pre, such as the Hovland.
