I have owned both the XA-25 and the 30.8. I much preferred the 30.8. The XA-25 was much too lean in my system even when combined with a tube preamp. It was perhaps too transparent making some music rather unpleasant.
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!
