Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ?

Many amplifier companies have fanboys. Not just Pass. Each brand may bring a slightly different flavor to the game, but all are great amplifiers.                           
My primary reason for NOT owning a Pass amp is no local dealer.Plus the big class A amps are furnaces you cannot leave on 24/7. 
My best local dealers sell Audio Research and Bryston, BAT and a few others. I chose Bryston myself, as it was the most recommended with my particular choice of speakers.                          
Generally folks suggest choosing the speaker you really want, THEN picking one of the amps which are best to use with that speaker.   
I have read here folks who want a specific amplifier, and then ask what speaker can go with it?

I used to own a ’tilted to class A’ small amplifier, Forte’4a. With it on 24/7 my electric bill was $7 higher in Winter, and $10 higher in Summer, just due to that amplifier. The amp I have now runs 230watts idle. like TWO 100 watt electric light bulbs on 24/7/365. The newer Bryston amps ’cubed’ models are half that. And yes they do lower the class A level, but still sound better than the squared model. Saving 100 watts left on 365 day a year is worth considering in cost.
To have an amplifier you have to turn off.. Would bother me. I DO now have a preamp I cannot leave on 24.7 as it runs way too hot. (A Conrad Johnson ACT2) In the Summer the heat is really a problem with the Conrad Johnson, and this is just a preamp, not even the monster heat furnace of a Class A amplifier. I know some folks can’t use the main amp in Summer due to the heat from it. So heat generated IS a real factor in choosing an amplifier.
