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!

Yes, would like to know how good an ARC Ref 5SE preamp mated with a Pass 250.8 would sound. Speakers most likely Dali Epicon 8 or Proac Carbon Pro 8.

Selling your XA60.5's was a big mistake IMO, if you value midrange purity.

Don't I know it. What's done is done.

Joe You could always go back to Reno Hi Fi, and buy a used XA.5 amp.

If you really wanted your sound back.

Newer is not always better for everyone.

I've been looking and if the right piece comes along, I may jump.

Based on the opinions of a few friends with new X350.8 amps, I am willing to give the new point 8 series a chance. I will be making the rounds to hear their systems and will have a better point of view soon in familiar systems. They are blown away with the performance of that amp, so I am comfortable picking the new series.
