Should I do this now or wait...

I am thinking of getting a Pass Labs X250 for my N802, then when I get more dough, buy a second X250 and biamp the speakers? Would this setup be close to the X600 monobloc? Or just sell the X250 and get the X600 when the time come? Thanks for any advice.

Guess I will wait awhile for the big monoblocs. Have any of you tried to rig an XLR input amp to take RCA sourced? I am currently running passive volume pot (Alps 30Kohm blue) w/ RCA outs and the X600 takes XLR. Much thanks, TN

There are advatages IF done right, especially if you use tubes for the top and SS for the bottom. If it is worth the effort, is another question altogether. If I were to use and SS for the bottom, I would not spend as much money as a Pass Amp, I think you could get alot of great SS bass from a much cheaper amp (for bass only).

I think you'd be a little nuts to put two x250s in a room. I had one and it threw off a ton of heat almost like a tube amp. My wife said "something's wrong with your new amp, it's burning up or something." It was literally warming up an 8' area around itself. Yes, it sounded good but not really practical IMO.
