My friend has an XA30.5 listed here on Audiogon at a very reasonable price. I've heard the amp and it's sweet and in excellent condition. I think it would be a good way to go unless you want to spend additional money in which case I'd follow Czbbel's advice.
Amp suggestions
Hiya,
I'm thinking about upgrading my Parasound A21 amp. I'm driving PSB 4 ohm speakers and my rig is set up for 90% vinyl, 10% digital. Units I've considered in the $5-6000 dollar price range include:
McIntosh MC302
Bryston 4B-SST2
Pass Labs XA30.5
I don't play at very loud levels, but the 30WPC of the Pass concerns me a little especially given the 90 percent vinyl.
Any other brands and input greatly appreciated!
