Pass Labs upgrade?

Tjasdoc,  where does it ever stop

you know where !!!

alfa100 -- It Only Stops when YOU say; "I am Happy!" Notice that I said that I will be keeping the Pass 160.8s for a long time; Not Forever! Probably, Maybe? 

I'M quite happy with what i already have- ML-53 Mono's. You get a lot of power and very pure sound, and they get warm but not too hot.  Plus they weigh a "manageable" 135 lbs. OTOH, the Pass XA-0.8
series would have easily been my second choice; i believe they are as good as
anything out there including mega-expensive gear from Europe (with all due respect of course).  But... they get VERY HOT.  The cosmetics have
improved a great deal, but i still see no need at all for a bias meter.
Plus the XS- series is even better, and of course are big enough to be used as end-tables.  
     I will say it once again although "i know" that they are not nearly as good as the newer stuff, but the ALEPH line, especially the 1.2's, were/are superb amps- I know because I heard them and immediately wanted a pair for
myself.  And guess what- no one (seems to be) putting them up for sale.
Perhaps someday they will come up with a design that makes power efficiently and also sounds organic, that would be a major step forward.

We know that Pass Labs is the best SS currently. Any of you guys using these power amps on Thiel speakers?
