Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60

My review:

https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2021/01/22/the-pass-labs-int-25-integrated-amplifier-review-the-sweet...

I use the 25 with Klipsch Heresy IV, chord Qutest DAC, Chord Mscaler, and a simple blue sound node 2i (dig out to chord). Nordost Blue Heaven LS cables throughout. 
The 25 added bass weight, a silky midrange that is very big sounding and a detailed yet non offensive top end. 

The 60 is also a beautiful amp. If I had harder to drive speakers I would have considered a purchase. But even the 25 powers the Q acoustic C300s quite easily and those are 86 or 87 dB. 
The room makes the biggest difference, always. With that said, the INT-25 is a much fuller and warmer integrated than the others I’ve had. Naim Nova, Luxman 590axII, and various tube amps, including Prima  Luna. 
I feel the INT-25 has something very special about it and it’s a perfect match for Klipsch Heritage (modern day newest versions). 

Also, the int-25, for me, has the all out best bass performance of any integrated I’ve had. Bests the Luxman and any others I’ve had. Makes the naim pieces sound thin. But the magic lies in the mids with the 25 and Heresy.  Nothing harsh about it with the Heresy IV, no matter how loud I go. 

@stevehuff Really great comparisons in that review Steve.  For people who haven't clicked yet, Steve also has top-quality integrateds from Luxman, Vinnie La Rossie, and Line Magnetic on hand for comparisons.  What a privilege to have those in the stable... all beautiful in their own way I'm sure.  And really an accomplishment for Nelson to have come out on top...

@stevehuff Great review of the INT-25! Being class A, how warm does it get? Thanks.

I haven't read the review yet, but I can pretty much guess what it says. This is by far the best, bar none, amp Steve has ever heard. This is it! The end game, the final stop!

Give him 6 months and you'll hear about Pass Labs shortcomings when the next 'end game' amp shows up. :)
