Anyone have the Pass Labs X260.8 amps? Opinions?

I'd like your opinion on these mono blocks. I am considering either the X260.8's, XA100.8's or the X350.8 Pass amps. Thanks!

I now have a Pass XP20 preamp. The XP 20 is the finest preamp I've ever owned. I did own a different Pass pre many moons ago too, and that one was just ok. Pass pre's have come a very long way i pair the XP20 with an X250.8 and could not be any more pleased
