Guest Runaway Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Pass Labs X3 amplifier Location: Vic Price: $2800 plus shipping, paypal costs Item Condition: Excellent 8/10 Reason for selling: Too many amps Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought this from the US and had it converted and checked out by Dallas Clarke. Dallas pronounced it in excellent condition after cleaning out the dust and tightening a few fittings (the interior looked like it has not been opened at all). This is a 3 channel version of Pass Labs X150 - the first of Pass' supersymmetry amps. I also have two other Pass amps - an Aleph 3 amp and an XA30.8 - both Class A amps. The X3 is technically a Class A/B but it starts in Class A at low power (15W) before switching to class A/B. Maximum power output is 150W x 3 into 8 ohms. The X3 is surprisingly good sounding compared to the Aleph and XA30.8. It is more neutral but retain that sweet mid range with an intoxicating holographic soundstage ("the Pass sound"). I have intended to use the X3 as a home theatre setup with a centre speakers and later add another Pass AB stereo amp to make up a 5.1 setup, with the option to switch to a 2 channel for music. However the X3 is a bit too big for my lounge cabinet and I have just been using it as a 2 channel amp for music which I enjoyed. Note that the two front metal flanges have been removed by the previous owner - they are cosmetic and does not affect the amp. I was going to wrote to Pass Labs to see if they have replacement parts. Specification: Power output: 150 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo), 150W (3 channel) Frequency response: 0Hz to 100kHz Total harmonic distortion: 1% Damping factor: 200 Gain: 30 dB Dimensions: 19 x 20 x 6.5 inches Weight: 85lbs Happy to demo for series buyer. I don't have the original box but will pack well for shipping if required. Donation will be made if this sells.
