Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25

Have any of you compare the pass amp with Bedini 25/25 100/100 ? For 1/3 prices of pass amp , I’m happy with my Bedini

@atl4love  Although we've not done any comparisons, we have had the Bedini in our shop (one was recently in here for repair) and it is one of the better solid state amps we've heard. If you like the amp though, seriously consider getting the filter capacitors in the power supply replaced- that was part of the problem with the one we had here.

@atmasphere thank for your recommendation about the cap replace ! To my ear I have a n.e.w amp one of pass labs aleph j designs 25 watts per channel and I have compare both with Bedini 100/100 the pass dried at top end and the Bedini was liquid and extant highs with punchy low , I would like to compare later pass production but don’t have the chance to audition any of them !

Does anybody on this thread have experience with Spectral? 

FM Acoustics amps are the only ones that come to mind. Expensive as hell though.

Very limited. Got to hear it once at Goodwin's High End in Waltham, MA driving Avalon acoustics with mostly or all ceramic drivers (long time ago).

Sharp as hell sounding, razor like transients. Not really compelled to listen to it.  The presentation (amp + speakers) was the most sterile but also compressed. The transients were sharp, but the music didn't seem to open up.

This was a 30 minute listening session decades ago. Please listen for yourself and take the limited experience I had into account.
