New integrated amplifier to drive Magico S3 mk2

In Singapore the pricing for these amps is roughly similar to the US pricing

Never heard of Halcro but after a quick look at their website and in particular the DM38 stereo amp it looks VERY interesting. For space and cost reasons I like integrated amps - any idea (1) when the integrated amp will be released, (2) what the output will be, and (3) a ball park estimate of cost?

Halcro had the famous headline banner in Stereophile magazine "Best amplifier ever". They are holding their cards close to their chest with the new product range; all will be revealed at the Australian HiFi show in Melbourne next month. Stay tuned.

Agreed. Amazing fit and finish. So is the feel of the volume control, smooth without any "give".
 
AJR or anybody. Did i you compare Pass INT-250 with Gryphon Diablo 300.
I have Pass Int-250 and thinking about moving to Diablo 300. Can’t demo Diablo so.
is that will be an upgrade or sideways move? My speakers are newest Sonus Faber Serafino. Listen mostly to jazz and chamber classical.
Any advise is very appreciated.

Hi myjazz. Not yet but I plan to do so during November. They are the two left on my shortlist at this stage. .
 
I was looking at a second hand pair of the S3 mkII. However I was too late. But the shop told me. That my amp would not have been a good match. Not enough power. My amp is about 100w 8Ohm. So that might be something to consider.

We just discussed this on another thread and I think you are right.

I just went from 350 wpc to 500 wpc driving the Magico S3 mk2. While the 350 wpc never felt constrained, 500 wpc simply is better. More headroom, more ease, better flow.

I think this is going to be a perfect long term match. Pass builds amazing products. Did you ever get a chance to hear the 260.8's?
