If I had your equipment the power amp would be the next to last item I would change. I think you would a bigger bang for the buck with a better preamp and/or switching to a full ribbon Maggies.
Normally I would agree with Onhwy61 on the preamp but a Wadia 850 into a Pass amp sounds pretty good. To get a preamp that would sound equal or better would probably cost a lot of money.
Thanks for your feedback and opinions. I took too long to decide and the amp is sold. Too bad as I checked with Pass and that particular amp apparently was a transitional one that had the same output stage as the 0.5 model. I think I will bade my time and wait for a 250.5 or 350.5 (budget permitting) to come along.
