| Owners of Pass Labs XA30.5 I am pushing the class A envelope with my 4 ohm, 90bd Audio Physic Virgo II speakers. The needle starts moving at moderate levels and I have a large space. The 30.5 is rated over 250 watts AB @ 4ohms. What would be the advantage of the 250.5? The ... | |

| Mcintosh mc402 or pass x250.5 Why not the Pass Labs XA-100.5s. With a 90 db, 4 ohm load great speakers like the Cremonas will sing! They deserve pure class A power. | |

| Revel Ultima Solon 2s w/ Pass Labs amps Thanks for the response and pardon my spelling (Salon). I was told by a local dealer that 300 watts were as you said, "makes them spring to life". He also represents a couple lines of solid state amps but not Pass. I have been thinking of upgradin... | |
