Line Magnetic 845 Premium or Pass Labs INT-60?

@tvad Unsurprisingly I had the same initial take as you...the Pass is the safer bet but it’s possible for the LM845 offer something different that could be nice depending on the speaker impedance. (8 ohms or higher). I’ve read a reviewer who really liked the LM845 paired with Wilson Watt Puppy 8’s before for instance which you wouldn't expect based on spec alone.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

13” 3-way, 86dB speakers are 8 ohms in the vocal range, but dip to 4 ohms @50Hz, @5-7kHz.
8” 2.5-way, 89dB speakers are 8 ohms in the vocal range, but dip to 3-4 ohms @80-400Hz, @4-12kHz. I’ll check with Reno HiFi next week when they reopen.
My Custom 65W PP KT88 is fairly good on the 13” 86dB, but doesn’t deliver the dynamics and frequency extension like my solid state amp does on that speaker. Based on my impedances, I wonder if the LM 845 Premium might not sound optimal. I could bi-amp the tube amp to the mid cab, and go plate amp or class D for the bass cab?...

Having lived with both amps the Pass can do everything that the LM can do and can do some things better, offering more detail and a larger sound stage and at the same time sounding real to life. This is using Devore Nines and Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers. The LM 845 is a great amp no question but if it were my money i would choose the Pass. A quick demo will not tell the whole story on both amps, the Pass takes at least 200 hrs. to sound it`s best while the LM takes about 100 hrs.

Hi, I agree with comments above. I have a Pass Int-60 available for sale (3 months old). I went back to tubes with a 300B SET amp, but my speakers are 93 db. If you are interested in the Pass get in touch.
