What 50wpc or higher amps have a totally different sound from Pass Labs, in a good way?


I have pass labs xa30.8, it’s awesome, but have no idea what’s considered it’s yin to the pass’s yang sonically?

redwood, That thread is a never ending journey. wcss goes through so many amps, some multiple times, that it’s unbelievable. It starts out with mid-priced amps but he’s been in ultra-high-end territory for a while now.

He also has a youtube channel (Jay’s Audio Lab) where you can see and listen to what he’s got. It’s one man’s opinion, but that man has done a lot of listening to a lot of amps. I find him to be honest and straightforward with his opinions and advice, but will everyone agree with them? Of course not.
Well one of his first posts mentioned the octave v110 very highly and it stuck out for me because I'd had a brief but interesting dalliance with a smaller one last year. I'll put in the time and go deeper into it. 
Keep what you have. 
 Not much better. If you want diff sound,..get new,speakers, keep the amps. Not much better. 
Speakers make the biggest difference!
