Hi all,
I wish to pair my Wilson Sophia 3s with a Pass Labs amplifier. I'm struggled between the various candidate combinations and because I have not the possibility to test them all together.
A good starting, before try to listening somenthing, could be an advice from all of you with similar setup.
Paper/Internet reviews doesn't help me so much: they are mainly focused on classical and jazz music, and my listening preferences are for rock and electronica and next jazz, so basically I need powerful mid-bass and bass with grip, and a good balance between the other frequencies, dynamics on transient due to poor DR recordings with these genres. "Why you don't buy the amplifier xxxx instead of yyyy ?" question may arise and my answer is I need to avoid the listening fatigue and I identified in Pass Labs the right compromise, or my first try before others, tell me If I could be wrong with this.
Possible options, before trying one of them, are:
a) X250.8 + my actual preamplifier ARC Ls28
b) INT250 and that's it
c) XA30.8 + my actual preamplifier ARC Ls28 , for space reasons I can't consider mono amps.
thank you for any comment.
