Better amps SS PASS XA200 or EDGE Signature.

Look at the technology. I've had both Aleph and X series amps from Pass. If the XA does anything like it is designed to do, nothing will come close. The Edge is a nice amp that errs on the soft side. Other than the lazer biasing (which is another "cool running" amp idea, like Krell's plataeu biasing and Levinson's set up. The Pass is very simple and straight forward....read...massive. You just can't foll the laws of physics. Read the owner's manual for the now discontinued Pass Aleph line.then read the manual for an X series amp...then the same for the XA. It will sell you. It is the best explanation of solid state I have ever heard. Good luck. Sean

Less-likely Pass will do a good job with tube preamp.
Edge amps are not a bottom line and I believe theyre over-over-priced.
The alternate list follows:
Plinius SA250 or SA100(can go much higher than 100W/ch read reviews and/or specs).
BAT VK500
GamuT D200.
