Armandito,
Regarding your original questions:
I own the X-600. It is extraordinary. I have the Pass X-1 at the moment (seriously considering the X0.2) and this combo, for the music I listen to (classical, jazz), makes me feel like I am there.
You can listen to the Rite of Spring at concert-level volume and the amps don't even go near to switching out of class A or getting harsh. A chamber group has all the delicacy and intimate qualities appropriate for the music.
I have no idea why they weigh so much and really don't care, when I get sound of such realism and beauty. This level of performance combined with the fact that the Pass company is just a call awaythey answer the phone and are extremely polite have made and kept me a Pass customer. By the way, I have never needed service on any of their equipment and also am fortunate to own their XONO.
By all means, consider all your options but the X-600 should be one of them. They are the last amp for me.
