Pass or Spectral


I will choose between the following high standard amplifiers:
Pass XP20 and XA 160.5
Spectral DMC 30SS and 360.
My speakers are Focal Utopia Scala and it seems
that Pass is a better choice with this speakers,
What is your opinion?
Thanks Sergio

Hi,

I cannot comment on Spectral/Avalon combo but I didn't like the Spectral/Magico combo that much. At a introduction show of the Magico M5 they were using Spectral gear. It all sounded a bit emotionless to me. Magico and Spectral are both really neutral. The combo may be to much. I know we are supposed to like neutral but it can suck out the excitement that music can bring.
Greetings,
I see that my reply is rather stale, but wanted to say with envy "kudos!" on your system choices, especially the Spectral 360's. I heard them with the Avalon Eidolons some time back with a full Spectral/MIT front end and it remains as the most musical, yet impossibly detailed, resolving, and truly hallucinogenic listening experience in my 20 years in the hobby. I was wondering if your system had evolved further, especially with regard to speakers?
Thanks and happy listening!
