Audio GD XA150 Monoblocks

I was about to pull the trigger on a pair of the master 2H's but the XA150 caught my eye. I e-mailed Audio-GD and asked them to describe the difference. He said the 2H is neutral while the XA150 is warm and smooth pure class A. That's all he said. In the HiFi- Adviser review of the 2H's I get the impression that they have a class A sound (which I like) and I think I will still buy the 2H's since I can't find any useful info on the XA150's.  

Frank great choice. Please let us know when you get them.

ordered the 2H's yesterday. For $75.00 extra I ordered them with extra set of speaker binding posts so I can bi-wire. That will take some extra time as well as the 100 hour factory burn in. Probably 3-4 weeks before I have them in my system. I'm in southern Calif. 

Frank amazing man! The extra posts is a brilliant idea. Which speakers, pre and dac?
You have a great reference point coming from the Lamm 1.2 Reference. What made you sell those?

Hi Tobias. As I mentioned in an e-mail to you I'm just getting back into serious audio after a 10 year absence. Had to sell my Lamms during last recession. Was using a pair of custom Mono's by Alex Paychev (APL hifi) until I had a problem with one. Had a pair of Electrocompaniet laying around so started using them. A good step down from the Lamms so I haven't been listening much. 
You probably aren't familiar with my speakers or source. 
Speakers are Talon Firebirds with the Accuton diamond tweeter & ceramic mid. Focal woofer. Talon is now out of business.
APL NWO cd player. This is a hand built player using an esoteric case VRDS-Neo assembly. Everything else inside is APL including 20 AKM dac's per side and a tubed output. 1- ECC99 tube per side. Built in digital volume control.
When I get the 2H's I will first be running them direct from my cd/sacd player. Once I get a handle on that combo I'm thinking of trying the HE-1 preamp. After that I will be looking into DAC's or maybe the DAC first. Alex Peychev is a friend of mine and his newest DAC's look very good but at a higher cost than the Audio-GD.
