Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
Kzhtoo I think your combo would be bit better than the INT-30 perhaps a little more resolution but it would be close.CHuck 
Boulder has full page ad in Du-pont registry
I don't think it is a stretch at all as high performance in all things such as cars, motorcycles, personnel aircraft, watches, audio and clothing to name a few is a characteristic the ubber wealthy wants and obviously can afford.Chuck

Integrated amp choice for JMR Offrande Supreme V2
No, I have not heard it but your speakers specifications would lead me to believe it would be an excellent match and sound very good. Reno Hi-Fi has a 15 day trial period you just pay shipping to and fro if you decide to send it back and there is ... 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
KzhtooI was looking to see if it did and couldn't find anything so I don't think it does. Looks like only the pre-amps have a by pass feature. Too bad it won't work out for you because the INT-30 is a beautiful sounding amplifier.Chuck

Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
No, I haven't. I have considered the VSi75 but I have heard nothing other than the reference 75 on which it is based is a great amplifier.Chuck 
Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers?
I am still toying with the XA100.5's and an XP-20 but like you I dislike the thoughts of so many boxes. I have also looked into an Ayon Triton Integrated which is a tubed unit. However, I am not over joyed with the fact of going back to tubes agai... 
Any experience with Arc ref75 driving magnepans
I was looking at this amp as well but was put off by the specs that Stereophile reported. I was also turned off with the fact that the VSi60 blew a resistor while on the test bench when Stereophile reviewed it. Doesn't bode well for ARC in my book. 
Any experience with Arc ref75 driving magnepans
Wow a 30.5 drives the maggies with no problem. Does the needle jump around much? I suspect then the ref 75 would drive them as well. The only issue then is dealing with power tubes and a the maintaience of a tube amp. 
PASS INT 3OA how loud does it play?
I had one driving my focal monitors (1007Be /89db per watt) for a short period of time and it got plenty loud enough. But I did feel it was a bit short on power as I was always running the volume control in the high 40's to low 50's and yes it top... 
Pre amp for Pass Labs XA30.5 – Tube or SS
I have read and talked to Pass and I understand there is an improvement as you move up the line and just not more power.Chuck
