What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?


Though there are perhaps better transistor amps, but Pass seems to be an excellent choice for many.
What is your experience with them, if you could elaborate ? Integrateds as well.

I was just making sure I could smell what the Rock...was... cookin!

I will say however, right now my wife and kids are not home, I am in my audio room with my 250.8, XP12, and my Ohm Walsh 5000’s and getting my dose of Metal and Classical all at once. Metallica S&M.

Feeling pretty emotional listening to Metallica and the SFSO rock One, just knowing Sandman comes next and closing with Battery.

Of course, that could be the emotion of pure Joy,  90+ db’s and no one to tell me to turn it down.

@jetter 

Yeah... I under estimated the volume again.  Definitely hitting peaks over 100db+

Oh, on the subject of Pass Labs no question they underestimate power and the class A bias.  Bias meter barely moving.

87db 6ohm nominal load on the 5000's.  Don't HAVE to have big power, but man they respond.
