Reference recordings?

[blackraven]

From all the Pass owners that I have read about on forums and talked to I don't think that you will be unimpressed by the Pass. I am not sure exactly what attributes you like with your sound in comparison to mine but I hope you will be as happy with yours as I have with mine.

I like high resolution, detail, transparency and a wide sound stage with tight deep bass, clear non fatiguing treble and a smooth liquid sound. I don't care for a too forward sound. My Parasound gives me detail, very tight controlled deep bass and fast pace ( it should with a dampening factor over 1000 and a very high slew rate) but treble could be a little more detailed and it could have more transparency. When I had the 600R in my system, it gave the impression of much more space between between instruments and the sound stage seemed like it extended out beyond the walls of my room. Even compressed recordings like Fleetwood Mac Rumors sounded uncompressed. I am looking for more of that with the X250. I also expect it to be effortless like my A21 which was 400wpc and had 60 peak amps which is 40 amps more than the Pass. The A21 actually specs out better than the Pass but specs don't always equal good sound. However, I do find it interesting that the A21 has 3 times the peak current of the X250 and my Maggies love current and power. I know that I won't be disappointed by the Pass amp.
