On the X.5 series, the meter, when it starts moving, indicates that bias on the amp is going from Class A to A/B operation. My B&W N803s make the meter move on my X250.5. Playing a recording with some decent bass/mid-bass, I have to get the preamp volume above the 10 o'clock position and the meter on the amp starts moving. But I love the Class A operation of the X250.5 amplifier when listening on low levels. Plenty of drive, slam and detail.

So, if I were you I would just relax or put your money in other pieces in your system. Teajay (System \| Reviews \| Threads \| Answers) I assume you had the XA-100 there in that system for comparison. Right?
