Pass....Accuphase....or......

I have recently discovered Audionet and I am really enjoying an AMP 1 v2 and their PRE G2. They are worth an audition.

...Coda.

I use an XA25 to drive a set of ZU Omen Def Supremes in a 24x21 room it is far more powerful than the ratings would make you think. The amp easily powers to 95 db at my listening position with power to spare. The ZUs are effecient. The amp is built like a tank. It is my final amp purchase I couldn’t be happier with a product. 

I have owned XA25 for 5 yrs.  25W Class A and it has over 80 W output capability.  I bought this brand because of reliability.  It is overbuilt!  It weighs 49 lbs.  It gets warm.  I have 100dB Klipsch Cornwall clones.  I use a passive preamp.  The sound comes through neutral with dynamics, clarity, great soundstaging.  This is the only Pass Labs built single ended.  

I have heard Luxman solid state.  It is warm and luscious.   An attempt to have a tubey sound.  This is not a bad thing. Not sure who services them in the US. 

Accuphase is near the top for solid state.  It is just a natural beautiful sound. It has been a long time but Accuphase and Klipschorns were memorable IMO.  A very small dealer network and not sure about service.

All of these companies make very nice equipment that you will not get tired of. 

I had the Parsifal Encore and they like to have some power 18wpc won't show you the potential of these speakers. You can also get something with a bit of bit as they are naturally pretty laid back.

The Luxman rec is good but after owning Luxman amps for 15 years I can't really listen to them anymore, maybe bored or just wanting something different.

Great speaker give them some breathing room and enjoy!
