Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5


Hi

I currently own a pair of pass xa 60.5 driving my vivid g3 speakers. I'm missing some juice out of the speakers (same conclusion reached by stereophile recent review with the same pair). I'm thinking of going with different amps and thought about lamm 1.2 hybrids. Anyone matched those 2 amps ? Any other opinion where to go after the pass 60.5 in the $15-20k budget ?
Thanks

I want to become dealer togheter with another company. It has to do with the agreement. Also without it, I will buy the 350.8.

I can't give you a date. I asked Pass Labs about reviews. There will be no reviews soon about the .8 series!
"A sideways step"? Did you even bother to read what Syntax wrote? I'll go a step further. Yes, the Lamm is vastly superior and not just in the bass regions. Really good listeners--like Syntax--pick up on subtle things like the Pass's like of microdynamic nuance which is exactly what makes it sound as if it lacks emotion. Smooth? Sure. Lifeless? I think so, yes. The Lamm M1.2s are in an altogether different--and superior--league.
We are talking about the new .8 series. I don't think that there are many people who compared the .8 series with Lamm M1.2s. So you can't know if it is superior.
And also Kevinkwann it's not a question of better "sound" of the two amps, the OP's original question is "more juice for his Vivid g3". And the Lamm 1.2 is a step sideways in this regard.
Just look at Syntax's speakers 100db!!!, infinately easier to drive that the OP's 86db Vidid G3'3

Good point, Bo. You can be sure the .8 series is vastly different than and utterly superior to every other iteration of Pass Labs amps ever created. After decades of trying, it's the .8 series that finally gets things right! Thanks for that insight.
