The Trigger has been pulled. New amplification!!

Robin said:

Tom,

A belated congradulations.

I am glad you choose the Pass Labs 250. It is a wonderful amplifier from all I have read about them. Nelson Pass is a true genius of a electrical designer. I have been lusting after the Pass XA-160, as Pass has really come-up with something terrific class "A" gear lately.

I am looking foreward to your indepth review.

:cheers: Enjoy and Happy listening.

Tom -- Now that you've run with it for a bit, what kind of heat is generated by the X250? One of the advantages I saw with the Sunfire pre-pro and amp is that they run pretty cool. The B&K that they replaced is an A-A/B amp like the X250, but it ran really hot (and was spec'd to do so). It was actually uncomfortable to the touch and had to be specially positioned and vented within its enclosed rack. On the other hand, it was about half the wattage at 8 ohms (150) and significantly less at 4 ohms (185).
