Pass or First Watt

My intuition would lead me toward the SIT monoblocks given your efficient speakers.I`m sure the Pass amp would sound very good .Based on reviews if seems the SIT-1 is 'special' and with its ultra simple,single gain stage clas A design is likely a purer,more natural and transparent sound.

Could be a case of very good amp compared to a sublime amplifier,Nelson Pass seems especially proud of this particular First Watt amplifier. If I were to venture to a SS amp the SIT-1 would be my destination. Good luck to you.

Gon member 213 cobra has first hand experience with both of these amplifiers and he thought the SIT-1 were superior.
Regards,

Thanks for the replies. The SIT does look like a great candidate if I try SS. Any others out there compare the two amps or heard the SIT amp? 213 Cobra?

Bob,
Go to the thread "thoughts on the First Watt SIT amps" from june 2012.

6moons also has solid coverage of the First Watt line. My experience with a number of First Watt amps leads me to agree with the 6moons reviews. Those reviews very nicely characterize and differentiate the models in the First Watt line.

Charles1dad,
Thanks, I read the entire thread. Also found a new review by Dick Oshler and it was very favorable. I might have to give it a try.
