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

Thanks for jumping in markum01, I was hoping somebody would mention the 260.8 monoblocks, which are sort of on my radar.  I assume the 260.8 monos offer as much as the 250.8 stereo amp, plus some? Any comparisons between the 260.8 monoblocks and the 350.8?

How about the X260.8 monoblocks????  Has anyone heard them?

XA-160.5 vs 160.8?

I am currently waiting for delivery for my first (and hopefully my last) amp upgrade. I elected to go with the 260.8 mono's and Tuesdays delivery cannot get here soon enuf

For me the pass Int-250,or X-250.5 (monoblocks XA 200.8) in combination with the preamp from EAR 868,912 or 918. A perfect combination.

jahatl513, yes, but the 25 doesn't have balanced inputs. That is a serious drawback to me as a reviewer. I build lots of systems with XLR, and that would cut out half of them. 

That may have been a tactical move on the part of Pass labs. If they were to stuff them with XLR then the unit might cut into the big boy amps in terms of sales. A company has to manage its products, and I respect that. Or, they might march the changes up the line and add XLR to follow on the lower model. 

I am currently running a pair of J2's as monos; only using 1 channel for each, and doubling up the speaker cable to the PureAudioProject Trio15 Horn 1 Speaker (reviewed). It's impressive to say the least, especially with a pair of Legacy Audio XTREME XD Subwoofers. Total of 8 15" woofers and horn system. When I apply my Schroeder Method of Interconnect Placement it becomes a completely different ball game.  

Pass/First Watt products are pretty easy to make sound respectable, and have good potential to be stunning.
