Does anyone have any thoughts as to which amplifier they would recommend? I am using a Krell HTS preamp with Revel F-30 loudspeakers, and enjoy music sometimes, but am more interested in home theater performance. I have narrowed it down to the Proceed Amp-5 and the Pass labs X-5. Both cost about the same and have about the same power output. Could anyone advise please. Thanks, Jeff
Pass Labs make some great amps, but if you are looking for a quality multi-channel amp, you really should also consider the Theta Digital Dreadnaught II.
Since you are only asking about those two amps, I will have to go with the Pass Labs. It is a good amp, but the technology (compared to newer Pass Labs amps) is a little dated. With that in mind I still think it is better than the Proceed. The Proceed is another good product but not in the same league, in my experience.
