The Pass XA-30.5 is such an underrated amplifier!
I owned one for many years before upgrading to a pair of XA-200.5's which we currently own.
Our system was a moderately high end system at that time - Meridian 800 series digital front end, Wilson Watt Puppy 5.1 speakers, high end MIT Oracle cables and Sound Application power conditioner.
We integrated our stereo with a home theater system so our family could enjoy our investment for movies as well as music - our setup emphasized stereo.
We also have 3 X-250.5 amplifiers for the theater speakers and the XA-30.5 was preferred by anyone who had the opportunity to listen to both. The only thing the 250.5 did better was bass.
When I sold one of our 250.5 amplifiers, I was concerned the person was going to ask to listen to the 30.5! Best little amplifier I ever owned!
Kudo's to Nelson Pass!
