Hello,
i have a question:
Who designs the cases (and the other stuff) for passlabs?
X - series looks pretty cool for me (the Threshold design was cool too).
But using massive metal is not allways good design for me ( see Chord).
What does people here call »good design«?
Some examples please.
Reinhard

well, i must take my hat off to him. the designs are just great.
i love the new x series. the VU on the front, and the backlit faceplate just looks amazing. ive always liked the simple and clean look of pass labs.

Hi!
Chord is produceing a great protuct`s. But try to compare the weight of let say Alephs and Chord` amps. Using masive heatsinks and toroids, required for normal operation of Pass design`s you are forced to use massive metal. You can not put the Aleph in the gentle line design of Chord or let say Audio Analog.. Function define the design. And by all means I think that tha Pass design`s beside, Krell and perhaps Levinson are the among the best in audio industry.

Sure, nothing against Chord, but i dont like the design. To much metal with no funktion (its difficult to say in english what is wrong for me). But look: http://www.weymouthhifi.co.uk/chordcpm.html
The X-series design is simple but good, it has understatement (and what is in the case is good too). Like the most Apple products, they have a very clear design. Look at the ipod, its the best styled Mp3 player i know.

ouch, i dunno if i would compare an x series aleph monoblock amplifier to that mp3 player. i agree the design is GREAT, but two TOTALLY different designs. one plastic, the other METAL.
