Pass X150 vs. X250

Do a search on Agon and you will find info on this question. The X-250 is slightly more refined, better bass weight/slam and to me sounded a little more extened in the top end. Maybe having more details too but it was a while back.

Happy Listening.

BigKidz, I did do a search before posting, either I missed it, which is possible, or it is removed; didn't A-gon recently announce they are removing certain amounts of old posts? Thanks for your thoughts, it seems you didn't think the difference was huge?

The X-250 will give you a more refined sound, better details, dynamics, slam and has extra juice whenever you need it. Once you hear them side by side then you will understand. I am not familiar with your speakers so I do not know the synergy with Pass Labs amps. The key to a good sounding system starts with the synergy with the amp and speakers. The is the first voice you listen to. Then you add the source in my opinion. The EMC-1 is a neutral unit with great soundstage, details and dynamics. The Electro DAC that I tried in my system added those same characteristics to my system for the better. Again, I am not familiar with your speakers so I would take the time to contact some Jean Marie dealers to see how the speakers are voiced and to see if they have had any experience with the Pass amps and the speakers.

Happy Listening.

Nelson now has the $$$ XA series supposedly because many folks preferred the warmer sound of the fully-Class A Aleph series instead of the Class AB X Series; the XA are more heavily biased in Class A. But the bucks!

I wonder if they've sold more than a handful of the XA amps. You never hear anything about them.
