    I am not saying that the A21 is not transparent and detailed. But after having a 600R amp in home for 3 days of fun, I was left wanting more. The A21 is a great amp, fast paced, detailed with deep, well controlled bass with a nice midrange and treble. There is a little grain in the upper treble. The 600R just showed me how much better my system can sound. I am not even sure if I am going to sell the A21 after I get the Pass. I would like to use it with my MMMG'S and my Grant Fidelity.

    I would probably love the Vincent amp and be perfectly happy with it, but to be able to buy a Pass X-250 for $2600 is too good to pass up (no pun intended). The amp listed for $6000 in 2002. If I don't like it I could sell it and give the Vincent a go.
