Pass Labs AMP’s- What is the best Pass Amp Sound for You from past 10 years

So I have an XA-25 and its outstanding. I’ve tested the XA60.8 mono’s and there was not enough difference to move to them; no jaw dropping moments. Don’t get me wrong they were fantastic, but so is the XA25. Looking at the 350.8 or 250.8, etc.... even in comparison the Integrated INT-250... If you love it; want to explain what you like and why? I’m wondering what others are thinking... 
My set up: Wilson Sophia II’s, XA-25, Pass Labs XP-22 pre, Merging+NADAC.

Kind of disappointed that more Pass owners didn't join in and discuss their amps.  I have Pass on my radar lately.  I guess we could just go ahead and give the stock answer "Pass owners are too busy enjoying their systems to write about them".

I believe my speakers are on the border of medium and low efficiency, so I was wondering if anyone who has the XA25 that found they could use a little more power.  So far it seems enough power for everyone who has written about the amp.

Hi teajay, did you mean above that the XA25 is your favorite .8 series amp or your favorite of all pass amps? If its not your favorite and I am not inadvertently putting you on the spot do you mind me asking which is? Thanks

I'm thinking this may not be a fair question.

jl35, everything in good time. I will either eventually do a home trial with Reno HIFi or maybe wait for the dust to settle a little and pick up one on the used market, but I don't want to hurry the decision too much.  It was not that long ago when I wanted a Luxman Integrated.
