| Heat in class A equipment I have Class A amps from Pass Labs rated for 200 watts; they're big, they're bad-ass and they're happening! All jokes aside, I don't concern myself with that (meaning heat), because it is what it is. First and foremost, I bought these puppies fo... | |

| Who uses ADS Speakers ADS!! Holy Moly Batman! ADS car audio back in the 80’s and 90’s was the shiz-nit. When I had a paper route a zillion years ago, there was this fella who competed in the car audio sound-off events and he competed in the 50 watt and under classs fo... | |
| Need a receiver for Klipsch Heresy speakers 96 dB efficient and rated at 8 ohms…. I’d pick this: The Pass Labs INT-25's output power is specified as 25W into 8 ohms and 50W into 4 ohms, both equivalent to 14dBW, with a "class-A envelope" of 50W peak into 2, 4, or 8 ohm loads. With "clip... | |

| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs A fella is selling his Pass Labs Int-250 Integrated for a fairly reasonable $8,500 dollars on U.S. Audio Mart. This thing cranks; it’ll make 500 wpc into 4 ohms. Like all other Pass AB amps, it is biased in Class A for something like the first 20... | |
