Pathos amplifiers comparison

I'm listening to a Classic One right now connected to Monitor Audio Silver 300 speakers. I find the Classic One to have a really nice tonal quality with a smooth midrange and high frequencies, but with no loss of detail or resolution. Downsides are that though it has a decent level of pace, it is not perhaps the fastest amp I've heard. My Silver 300 speakers are pretty pacey in their sound so the combination of Pathos Classic One and Silver 300 speakers seems to work well. The Classic One certainly adds some nice tonal color to the Silver 300s that don't generate much tonal color on their own.

Thanks for sharing your experience,
guess I have to consider going audition with higher powered amplifiers.

Yes, I owned a Pathos Classic One MKII and would say that to get the dynamics one would enjoy, it would be best paired to a more efficient speaker. A very smooth sounding amplifier when rightly paired.  

Maybe a good substitute would be a Unison Research Unico Due that’s also a hybrid design with more power and even keeps things in the Italian family.  Best of luck. 

I’m aware I’m posting on an old thread but I’m adding my comments in case someone new comes across this thread when searching Google or agon. 
 

I have the pathos synapse and pathos Adrenalin monoblocks paired to Dali Epicon 8s and sometimes Focal Diablo Utopia standmounts on occasion. 

It is not bass shy with the epicons but with the diablos there is definitely a need of subwoofers. 

To me these are endgame pre/amp combos. I may change speakers but I have no intention of changing out the synapse and Adrenalin. 
 

I’m also planning on getting the inpol headamp for my office environment in the near future.
