Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps?

Pass Labs is giving the most complete sound in my opinion. As a perfectionist I am only interested in the best possible. For me focus is Always on the max what is possible these days. I want everything in a set what needs to be there for the 'absolute' sound. Or what I call TOTAL SOUND.

Pass Labs can let you hear the differences in sound between instruments. It gives you the wide and deep stage you need. But also in timing and drive it is stunning. It is pure music full of emotion and realism

For me it is difficult to understand why many people choose for other brands which have so many limitations. When I explain people what the limitations are they understand it. Before they didn't know what was missing or wrong.

Skootb: I too would be interested in your observations about the differences from your former x250.5. Please expound.

I own a pair of xa60.8s.

LOVE them. I think they do everything better than the x250.5, which was my previous amp.

To be honest, I pretty much thought that about the XA30.5 vs. the x250.5. The later was a little better in the bass though.

Cool, sounds good. Thanks for your report.

How do the XA30.5's compare to the XA60.8's?

I went from the XA30.5's to the XA60.5's and got much better imaging and separation, mostly due to Mono Blocks Vs. Stereo amplification.

I think the 30.5's were a little bit sweeter in the mid and high frequencies though.
