Pass X-250.5 or McIntosh MC402?

Interesting that you seem to be just generally dissatisfied for some unknown reason, just a lack of pleasure

Don't get me wrong, if you are referring to Mmitch7711, I am not dissatisfied with my system at all, I was merely trying to protray that sometimes I (we) can get caught up in the thread traffic of how someone reaped huge benefits and be bitten by the bug. I will speak for myself on this one because I have changed components way too much in the past three years. I finally have a setup that is simply marvelous, however I received an e-mail from someone who used to operate the Mc-501, however has since changed to the Pass Labs and he thinks they are way above the Mac. With that said, I immediately wondered how the Pass would sound in my system. However upon reading this thread and taking sensible advice from others I have decided to take a chill pill. I know I am not in this alone, however I have made up my mind to "Slow Down", and enjoy what I have. If you look at my system, I feel I am blessed. That's all I was saying.

Thanks
Mitch

I have 804s with a krell ksa 100 with out the s the pure class
a version the krell runs them wonderfully with ease, I would also highly recommend a BAT VK-500 with bat pack. And if I were to chose between pass or mac it would defiantly be pass.

The Pass, as well regarded as it is, didn't do anything special for me on a pair of Genesis speakers. Volume control was noisy as well.
