You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss

Hi Mr Decibel,

I don't think anyone needs to justify anything, at all. Ever. In fact if you read my posts and how I talk to people whose tastes vary from mine, I always encourage others to buy what they prefer, ignoring me, ignoring the reviews and (if they can) ignoring the price tags.


The main reason I thought about this post that I hear a lot of Pass fans talking about Pass vs. Pass, but not Pass vs. other systems.


I'd like to understand what their systems are like, and what they compared them to before deciding.


I have no intention of disproving Pass fans from their preferences, even if I don't share them.

Best,

Erik

Maybe not their cup of tea, but to say what you have, is well, you know

I'm sorry, what is your specific objection to anything I've posted?

Why is it ridiculous any more than the post asking what owners of Magnepans like and dislike about the speakers? He asks a legitimate question and from what I have seen, he has said Pass never has spoken to him, not that he hates them. If people don’t want to respond, they are free not to. I know a lot of people like Wilsons. They are nice speakers, but I can’t stand the way they sound.

mcreyn, why can’t you stand the way Wilsons sound ? Eric, a second time, why is it that Pass amps are not to your liking ? I am going back to his Threshold days...Eric, you are not so different than Georgie boy. We will see where this thread goes, but, I am out.....

I think they are bright and ruthlessly revealing.  I accept that a lot of music I like is not well mastered and prefer a warmer sound.  I am also very sensitive to brightness (tinnitus from an accident as a child).  For someone that wants to hear only what is on the recording, they are great.  I prefer to kick back, enjoy the music, and error on the side of sweet rather than revealing.  For that reason, my Magnepan 3.5s in my main system and Totem Mites on my desktop (on of Totems few warmish speakers) speak to me.
