OP- If you think there is a weak link in the chain you should describe sound and what you don’t like about it.  
Pass XA 25 versus Parasound A21+ - anyone compare?
@avanti1960 My Int-25 had some edgy treble to begin with but smoothed out considerably after a week of constant playing. Also running Harbeths. 
Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
Take a close look at Stereophile’s measurements for the Pass:https://www.stereophile.com/content/pass-labs-int-25-integrated-amplifier-measurementsAt lower impedance (4ohms) distortion rises with higher frequencies. Something to consider. 
Close, but no cigar ...
I’m really intrigued by the Belles Virtuoso integrated. Dual mono design and 200W per side. Would love to hear from someone who has it. 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Minimalist integrated: Pass Int-25. Power beyond its rating. Smooth, detailed sound. 
Decware Line Conditioner - Worth the wait?

Heat from amps?
Aside from the heat consideration, you must keep in mind that the XA25 and X250.8 are different in their design (single ended vs. balanced) and will have considerable differences in their sound. I seriously doubt that the 250.8 would be "too power...

This audiofool is ready! 
Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD
Oh for sure. I’m just really curious how an amp with a really stout power supply which is necessary for a large class A envelope (but low-ish relative watts) drives these speakers so well. I don’t listen loud enough to get even close to the limits... 
Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD
What is it about the "low powered" SS class A amps that get such great results with Harbeths? I've read very positive feedback about Sugden and Luxman, and with my own experience, the Pass Int-25 delivers amazing realism through Shl5+'s. It would ...
