What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?

Gotta laugh at the people saying pass is not good or even bad or not engaging etc etc. Pass make incredible amps. I love my 350.8.

Oh btw @audiotroy is wrong. He said coda no8 does 150 watts class A. Uh no it doesn’t, its 150 watts ab into 8 ohms and only first 18 watts is class a. Please don’t spread misinformation and as an ’audio doctor’ atleast get the basics right.

NO NOT bad rap PASS NO weak points.HELLO!

I’m too considering Pass amplifiers. What strikes me the most when I read through all these lame responses to OP question, is the lack of almost all responses  to include what speakers they used in their Evaluation of Pass amps. Amplifier speaker interaction is the most critical component matching region when putting together a system. 90% of the responses to this thread are useless IMO.

The weak point is the cover. Tried standing on one and it caved right in. I was holding a Wilson Watt Puppy at the time. So that really was it after all.

My only experience with Pass gear are the Aleph 3 and Aleph 2's I had many years ago. IMO, both were great sounding and when I decided to downsize I preferred the VTL MB125 just a bit more than the Aleph 2's I had at the same time.

The Aleph 3 I sold a bit prior.

I feel the Alephs get you real close to quality tubed gear territory without actual tubes in play.  

I wish I had never sold them.

Regrets?  I've had a few...
