Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier


Has anyone listened to the Pass Labs XA-25 and XA-30.8 amplifiers? Can you share what you heard, as well as what the differences are besides rated power and cost? I’m thinking of using one of these amps with my Audiovector R1 Arrete speakers and REL T/9x subwoofer (source is Weiss 501 DAC/digital preamp).

You may want to add the coda no 8 amplifier to your list.

 

the coda no 8n is way more flexible the no8 can be ordered in three different variants

V3: 400 Watts x 2 into 8 Ohms

800 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms

Class A ~8 Watts

V2: 250 Watts x 2 into 8 Ohms

500 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms

Class A ~12 Watts

V1: 150 Watts x 2 into 8 Ohms

300 Watts x 2 into 4 Ohms

Class A ~18 Watts

"The $6,800 Coda No. 8 is very musical yet very detailed in ways that make me think that a fairer comparison would be my $13,5000 Pass Labs XA-60.8 monoblocks, which is a significant accolade for the Coda No. 8, as the Pass 60.8s are mean competitors costing far more money." - Terry London, Home Theater Review

 

At any time you can re-bias the amp at the factory so you can increase the amplifiers output
