Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49

@almarg 

Thanks for correcting the link. For some reason I had a hard time posting it and did not know that it was not correct/working.

Cheers,

I own a number of amps all except one that I can think of are Tube Amps.  I am firmly committed to them but only with reasonable speakers .  I decide what reasonable is, somewhat arbitrarily .  If I owned Sashas, I would use solid state. 
That said I do own or I should say am trying to retrieve, two powerful tube amps.  A Jadis DA-60 with 8 KT-88 (Gold Lion), rated at 60 watts but that is not likely the true output which I believe is higher.  I also own a pair of Opera Consonance Cyber 800 monoblocks with 4X EH fat bottle 6CA7 each.  Rated at 78 watts. 
Still I wouldn't think they would be a good match , the Cyber 800s are truly exceptional for there pedigree, nonetheless, I just don't know?
Perhaps a cautious audition 
So to keep it related to this thread, I would choose the pass which I have heard and think is superb.

The best comparison to the Prima Luna is the INT 30. I'm an ex tube freak who finds class A to be a bit sweeter if paired correctly. My Accuphase E600 is noticeably sweeter than any tube amp I've heard though my Harbeth's.

The Pass Labs dealer says the INT 60 will work tremendously with my Sasha 1's. He says there will be a huge difference from my Arcam A49. The Arcam A49 has the power and is very good and my Arcam dealer says I would need to spend over 13K to really make a difference. My Primiluna Dialogue PREMIUM HP dealer says this tube amp will better the Arcam and the Pass Labs & will work incredibly well with the Sasha's. Since I have to order the units I have no way to try them out with the Sasha's. Wilson Audio believes the Primaluna Dislogue PREMIUM HP would work very well, as well as the Arcam & the Pass Labs. 

The dealer won't allow you to do an in home listening test??

Find a new dealer.
