Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5?

I am not a dealer for either but have experience with both. The Halcro is incredibly clinical and very resolute. The Pass Labs XA.5 series is also very detailed, resolute and powerful with greater musicality and harmonics.

I had the Halcro 58 amps in here and it's not even close. I switched to Pass XA-160 and now XA-100.5. Pass labs all the way!

Ignore Crna39.
He is a 'tool' for Pass Labs amps (just check out every single one of his "Answers").
Strange thing is, in 4 years, not a single mention of comparing the Halcro DM58 amps till now?
And how and why did that comparison occur when he is such a proponent for Pass? if you believe that, you believe in the tooth fairy.

If you are spending this kind of money, you need to hear both amps, driving your speakers in your room.
One will do it better than the other but no-one can tell you which one?

I've had the Halcro DM58 monoblocks for 3 years and they are the most neutral, transparent and distortion-free amps I've heard up until the Soulution 700 which sound remarkably similar to the Halcros.

I'm a huge Pass Labs fan, but I have to agree with Halcro's comments. Lately, I've heard both Spectral and Halcro amps driving Magico speakers. The sound was very good indeed. I think you have to audition each in your system with your speakers to make a fair judgement and determine which you will be happier with.
