Pass XA25 will put out over 80W AB. I don't like that sound. If you stay in class A, it is a forever amp. I tried to find an impedance curve but couldn't. Adding a sub with a crossover point less than 100 Hz will take load off your main amp. I bet the 25 will work then, There are other benefits as you well know. Good luck. Once set up you will have a beautiful sounding system.
Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5?
Wow. 200 hours and the Stirling are sounding really great!
My Leben cs600 seems to run out of juice though - especially on the digital side. The gain from my phonostage leaves some room, but the 2mV output from my DAC not so much.
I'm thinking Pass Labs w/a tube pre and am curious if an XA25 will drive them? Or an XA30.5 might be better? Any experience would be helpful. Gracias, amigos.
