Too good to be true?

Good morning to the community.  I recently became aware that Pass Labs has put out a new stereo amplifier – the XA25.  The XA25 retails for $4,900 and seems to be getting rave reviews.

Does anyone have any experience with this amplifier?  If so, what are your impressions and observations? 

Thanks, and a great weekend to all!

When reading the review, the first thing I thought of was the Benchmark Amp and how it would compare to the pass

Kosst, thanks for the good info!  I'll check out the Burning Amp lecture.

And +1 re Tomic's suggestion of contacting Mark at Reno HiFi.  That is the dealership I purchased my XA25 from.  In addition to providing generous trial/return privileges, he offers great advice and is a pleasure to deal with.

Regards,

Al, there are two videos filmed at the BAF viewable on You Tube, from two different years. Roger Modjeski’s 90 minute (iirc) talk on tubes and tube circuits is also well worth your time.
