Pass Labs X-250 vs. X-600

In the original X-series the gem sonicly is the X-600s. Not just more power but a significant improvement in all factors such as details,timbres,soundstage,etc. However, you might want to try either a new X-350.5 or when it comes out shortly,a pair of X600.5 monoblocks because the new X.5s are a significant shift towards sonic bliss! The X-350.5 is great and you could get one at the price or near the price of a used pair of X-600s,which I think don't sound as good as the new X-350.5. Hope this helps.

To answer your question, there is a greater sense of ease to the sound/music with the X-600s. More air, more dynamics, better defined bass, etc, etc. I owned the X-250 for several years and it does what it can do extremely well especially for the used prices now but you'll have to decide for yourself if the extra %percent improvement is worth the extra $$$bling!

Happy Listening.

I would highly recommend you listen to the 350.5 before you make a decision. I have owned one for six months and am completely enamoured with it. The .5 improvement isn't subtle at all. As much as I liked my 350, I couldn't go back.
