RE: Definitely...


Yes, the .5 upgrades were noticeable improvements in the Pass line. I had the X150 and then the X150.5. The X150 started to sound a little harsh when loud. The X150.5 was much better. And both benefit greatly with a nice tube preamp driving them. This offered a good combination of dynamic 'slam' and authority with a more full-bodied robust tube sound. Of course I was using a rather 'tubey' sounding linestage at the time in the Cary SLP-05.

And now Pass is shipping the .8 models but I haven't heard any of them.

Thanks for the reviews. I'm still Class D curious but in the $2000 - $5000 range.
