Need highly transparent detailed amp---how does Pass XA25 compare to Gamut D100/D200 MKIII


Giving up on the SET amps.  I don't want to replace another expensive tube and the heat from 805 tubes is a warm weather deal breaker.  Considering the Pass XA25 but maybe the Gamut and its higher power rating would be a better option and allow a greater range of speakers to be used.  Can anyone comment on how the Gamuts compare to the XA25 in terms of detail retrieval and transparency (and any sonic differences).  Many thanks!

Underwood HiFi is supposed to be releasing their Voyager GaN amp around now. They might still be offering a trade policy. I would definitely pursue it
tweak1   what is a Voyager GaN amp?  Years ago I swallowed the cool aid to quickly and traded in a JAS Array 2.1 SET for a new Wyred4Sound ST-500 there at Underwood.  I read the review of how great Class D was and it was a huge disappointment.  The extra power was nice (and bass) but everything else was a BIG step down in sonics.  Not saying the Voyager will but, just reflecting. 


And don't have Tektons yet.  My main speakers are DIY/customs of a similar design to Legacy Focus but using Eton drivers.  It's also quite sensitive but requires bi-amping. 


I've been looking for Valvet on the used market on Hifishark but they seldom come up so... will continue to consider although there are a couple Gamuts available presently so might jump on one before it's too late.  Thanks all for the input!
I have a pass labs xa25. I cannot compare it to the amp you are considering. I have not heard it.  Though the xa25 does not get too hot at all. 
It shines in midrange, it’s warm, very quiet, and forgiving with poorly mastered cds. I can only advise regarding the xa25 that you do not utilize  oversized spades on the amp side. They only partially fit. Also a speaker cable of silver and copper 50/50 reveals more detail. All copper and it might sound a bit flat. I’m running them with special 40s in a very small living room. Works well for me. 
Best luck!
