Are you using the pre-outs from the Luxman with the Pass?

Yes.
I just lugged it home to try on the AG’s tonight (Joe made me do it).
Will use my VAC preamp.

That ought to be a really good combo and luckily not like hauling the rest of the Pass amp lineup around.

Initial thoughts...
Needs a very efficient speaker.
Very unsolid state sounding solid state.

Didn't it work with the 30.2's? Or is that room two much for that combo.

The Harbeth’s need more juice. They work splendidly with the Luxman 509x (147 Watts/channel).

Interesting. I wonder what it would do with the Mojo S at 90 db and 4 ohms?

In addition to Avantgarde, I think with something easy to drive like Tannoy, Verity, Focal, etc., it could be awesome.
Would love to hear this amp on some Westminister GR’s.

Is it anywhere close to a SET-like sound?

A few more thoughts as I continue to listen...
Very transparent. Vocals have an amazing life like clarity and focus, coupled with the quiet background.
The amp is never “shouty” or aggressive. It’s very subdued and sweet.
If it smooths out a little on top with break in, this could be a superb SS amp for Avantgarde fans.
It runs hot.

Most of the reviews alluded to many hundred hours.

Yes, that’s what I’m figuring to based on other Pass amps. But so far, pretty sweet.
