Finally added Accuphase to my collection

Now that I have had ample time on my Accuphase 380 connected to my LS50 metas, I must say, if I have purchased this amp a while back this could have been end game for me. I know some has said that Accuphase can sound soft in the bass, Well my chest hurts from all the kick drum pounding. My room is heavily treated and I do have a b&W db3 sub. There have been a few times I forgot to turn the sub on and I did not recognize it. Soundstage it’s just incredible. Vocals are just perfect to my ears. Everything just  sound so right, for the sound I like. Nothing too laid back or forward. Treble sparkle without any brightness. 

Finally removed my Accuphase from the rack and installed my Pass int 250. I have not use the Pass in over 6 months,and forgot how is sounded. As excellent as the Accuphase is, it cant do what the Pass does. Of course the Pass has a lot more power and current(250 watts vs 120) The Accuphase is very fast sounding and puts a spotlight on every instrument( a good thing). The Pass sounds large and bold. The midrange is just incredible on the Pass. I did not think the mids could be bettered on the Accuphase because it’s some of the best I have heard. The Accuphase is sharper in its presentation and the Pass is more rounded. Bass on the Pass is strong and deep. The Pass sounds a bit more real in my room. I love the sound of both amps and I’m glad I do not have to chose between them.
