What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ?


Though there are perhaps better transistor amps, but Pass seems to be an excellent choice for many.
What is your experience with them, if you could elaborate ? Integrateds as well.

IMHO:

 expensive,

 heavy,

 inefficient,

 large,

not ideally suited to sub 4 Ohm loads,

 added cost, light distracting, extra parts meters, (which again IMHO) I don't have confidence in the accuracy of,

 confusing power specs,

leaning on the warm side of neutral,

Not at the top, but certainly on my shortlist of favorite amps.
