Need highly transparent detailed amp---how does Pass XA25 compare to Gamut D100/D200 MKIII

That's certainly an option and in the same used price range.  I just hate paying practically list price for a used item.  With these and the Tektons, it makes more sense to buy new.  Thanks for the recommendation.  I'll certainly keep it in mind.

Pass amps tend toward the warmer, rounder end of the spectrum so may not suit if you're a fast-transient, detail fan.

tecktons would benefit fro a more transparent amp might want y o hear a pure fi amp critics are saying these amps area h iant break throgamut way lomore transparent then pass

lcherepkai OP

"If" the internal layout and neatness are anything to go by, give me the Pass XA25 every time.

I’d think the Gamut would be a little more detailed and neutral of the two, and the Pass will probably throw as much heat as a SET amp. A couple other off-the-radar possibilities might be a Valvet E2se or a D-Sonic M3a-800S, both very different but excellent amps if you read the reviews.  I think D-Sonic offers a three-week trial period and costs less than $1500 new so what the heck?  Ok, you can commence laughing now.  Anyway, best of luck in your quest.
