I’m a huge LTA fan but for 86db speakers I’d go with the Pass hands down.
LTA ZOTL 10 Mk ii versus Pass XA30.5
Hi all, I need some novice advice. I have the choice between an LTA ZOTL 10 Mk ii or a Pass XA30.5 for roughly the same price. I’d like to drive bookshelf speakers with 86 dB sensitivity in mostly a nearfield configuration as they sit on my desk (more critical listening), occasionally I need to listen a bit further apart (less critical listening), but the room is really small. I have a LTA MZ2 which I’d like to use as a preamp. Both amps seem to play well with the MZ2, and I may not need the extra power of the XA30.5 due to my nearfield listening. I am a bit clueless what to pick. I like the MZ2, so I think that I would also be happy with the ZOTL 10, but I also own a Pass Aleph 30 (in another room), which is a wonderful amp. I would be happy about any suggestions.
