    Does Pass Labs X260.8 match ARC Ref 6?

    I’m interest to know if Pass Labs X260.8 match ARC Ref 6? Anybody listen to an ARC ref per-amp work with Pass Lab new X000.8 amp? I’ve experience listen to an ARC Ref 5 with Pass Labs X600.5 and Sophia 3, it’s OK, good dynamic but sounds a little bit rough for me.

    While I don't have a 'ref' series pre , rather a LS-28, I can tell you it pairs up wonderfully with my X260.8 mono blocks. Driving a pair of Revel Studio II's I couldn't be happier !

    I think typically ARC and Pass are considered having good synergy.

    I am running the 250.8 with an Ayre pre and can hence only talk to the power amp. And IMHO it is a solid performer.
