New Amplifier - Blu-ray Forum

rpatt · 12-27-2015, 11:30 AM

Just bought a new amplifier to power my Klipschorns. It's a Pass Labs X150.5. It will replace my 80's vintage Yamaha B6. It runs in Class-A up to about 16-Watts then changes to Class AB. This is perfect for a speaker as efficient as the Klipschorn. Here's a photo.

Happy Holidays to you SD. It will be delivered on January-4 but I won't be home until next August. So I'll have to wait till then to play with it.

Congrats Robert!

. I've only ever heard the Pass Labs gear at an audio show, but would love to truly audition some at a dealer. Did you sell your Yamaha B6?

Thanks John. I don't think I could let the B6 go. It's too rare.

Congrats!
Never heard a pass amp but certainly know them by reputation! Would love a mini review of the amp when you have time.

Awesome. This should make the Klipsch speakers sing beautifully. Never heard anything from Pass Labs but from what I have read they build top quality amps. with excellent reviews. This model is gorgeous. Congrats

Sorry but the review is going to have to wait until I get home in August. For Opips3, the amp weighs 65#.
