In the case of the 30 watts XA.5, clipping occurs at 130 watts into 8 ohms, higher into 4ohms. If you search the Stereophile archives, you'll find a review with performance measurements.
Pass X vs XA amps sound quality in class A range
If you are one of those lucky enough and has the means to upgrade from the X (or X.5) to the XA (or XA.5) Pass labs amps, is there enough of SQ differences in low power ranges, say between 5-25W, where they all perform in class A mode, supposedly. Thanks for any insight!
