Hello, I owned a Threshold S/300 for several years then sold it about a
year ago.
I drove a pair of Acoustat model 2+2's with it. I am now considering between
a used Pass Labs X150 and a Threshold S/350E. The S/350E was
upgraded by John Soderberg. Both used pieces go for about the same
price and both are rated 150wpc into 8 ohms. I liked the rich, warm
sound quality of the S/300 with my Acoustats.
Which of the 2 amps would be the better
choice as far as rich, warm sound?

I believe that Pa recommended JS several times, so that's a plus
consider one major difference between two amps - S350 is non-bridged output while X150 is
by nature, means that you can expect less warm sound from bridged one
though, listening test is sole way to check that , with your speakers/rest of system

Pass Labs X150 with B1 Korg Triode preamplifier (balanced version ?) can be interesting to try imho 🙂
Super symmetry amplifiers give the best sound with all full balanced audio chain.
