Halcro DM68 or Pass XA 200.5?

My vote goes to Pass.

I am sure Halcro, Soulution and Spectral are all very technically competent amplifiers, but for some reasons, they simply do not move me.

Good news is, they are SO different in sound, you will be able to tell which 'school' you prefer with one quick session.

Between Halcro, Soultion and Spectral, my vote would go to Spectral.

I am wondering why everybody is so hype about the pass amps. I have owned the Halcros a few years back, and I found them to be very god sounding. I have never owned the XA 200.5 but I have a set of 100.5 along with a set of MSB M202 in my listening room right now, and the MSB´s blow the Pass monos away. The Pass´s ar very good indeed, but if you like neutrality and detail, there are better options out there.

Hey guys,they are all good amps, i owned them both, every
one like it different sound , some people their ears can handle a very high frequency , some don't. no matter how
good your amp is, if you don't have a room ,so..... the
room will -/+ 30% of your equiment, and plus the rest, they are all system match, so far no amp can sound like
an OTL amp.
