    Diablo 300 vs Pass separates

    Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Diablo 300 to a Pass XP22/X260/350.8 combo?
    I have Magnepans.
    🙏

    Go Pass. 350.8/22 if you can. That’s the amp I would buy if I had Maggie’s again.

    Thanks Mike 🙏
    In what way is the sound of the Diablo 300 different from Pass 22/350.8?

    The Pass will have endless current/power for the panels which suck up as much as you can give them.

    Sonically more meaty too.

    Thanks, I currently have a Diablo 300 (dealer loan) driving my Maggie 3.7’s ….with ease. (Maximum volume is 25-27)
    Very authoritative with a big soundstage 💪👌
    Haven’t had the chance to listen to the Pass X350.8 but I’m sure it’s a great amp as well but here in 🇸🇪 the Pass combo would be more than twice the price of the Diablo 300.
    Diablo 300: 238A
    X350.8: 43A
    according to measurments in a Swedish HiFi mag.
