It seems like the XA-25 is generally regarded as “transparent”. Maybe the big selling point for the XA-30.8 is the balanced inputs? One thing that makes me hesitant about the Pass amps is the 3 year warranty, 5 years is pretty standard. Has anyone had reliability problems with their Pass amps?
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).
