consists of nine folks, it really doesn't make sense to maintain effectively duplicate product lines. This isn't Sony.

Speaking of the point 8 series in 2013:
"Pass Laboratories celebrates its twenty-second year by presenting the best amplifiers we have ever made. If you have heard the qualities of the highly acclaimed Xs series of amplifiers you will have had taste of what we offer here amplifiers that bridge the gap between measured performance and subjective experience. "
They learned how to make better. There's plenty of the older units available on the used market and they should be good for many years to come. My 1981 Threshold Stasis has been in daily service since then and I've only (proactively) replaced the big Mallory power supply caps and some fuses.
Follow Ups:
Of course we always knew the x.5 would go away when the x.8 was released. And I didn't mean to suggest they should introduce an entire new lineup in parallel with the .8 models, but now their least expensive amplifier sits at $6750 and they have only 2 available below 10 Grand (!). I would recommend at least one entry point model somewhere south of $5000 if they want to cultivate future business by planting seeds. But who knows, perhaps Nelson Pass is content with simply playing in the cost-no-object sphere and does not worry himself with marketing concerns anymore (presuming he is still running the show there).
So true- but, Pass Labs is the best SS at the moment.
Well he does make the First Watt line.
