A while ago I saw somewhere online a Sony amplifier that was massive and far closer to something like a Pass Labs X-600 then the current crop of Sony products. It might have even been a monoblock, I can't recall. Has anyone seen or heard of such a unit? I'd love to get the model number and look into it a bit more. Thanks.

I have an "aquaintance" who bought a set of both pre- and power amp secondhand around '05, drove Martin Logans when i had a listen.
Lots of detail, great dynamics, excellent imaging, the usual metallic crisp of low bias mosfet output stages in the highs.
(cost of the duo was around $25K new overhere, at the current exchange rate)
