Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8


Hi everyone!  I have been a tube guy for the past 20+ years and have decided to give one of these Pass amps a try.  I would like to hear from owners of the XA25 and XA 30.8 on why you chose your amp and what you really love about the XA 25 ormr 30.8!  Both have great reviews but I want to hear your impressions.  I will  still be using a nice tube preamp btw!

I haven’t heard the XA30.8, but my (very positive) thoughts about the XA25 I own were stated in the thread three_easy_payments linked to in his first post above. Note, though, that as I indicated in that thread my speakers are very easy to drive, and present the amp with an unusually benign load.

Also, if you haven’t already seen it you’ll find the following thread to be of interest:
