@chorus,
What did you not like about the 120S you sold? Can you describe what was missing for you? Much has to do with speakers too, of course.
I have to ask, and know a few who bounced back and forth between that 120 amp and SS and back to tube later, not having bought the right SS amp. You’ve already demo’d the Pass XA-25, and with "94db" sensitivity speakers, that should be a really good benchmark reference, pending a good preamp and good speaker matching.
