Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25


I am anxious to see what comes.

If your response includes the word "But" please restrain yourself.

Thank you all for delving into the femto distortion/feedback/ gain/switching wave forms/harmonic orders.
I fear all this self-oscillation is causing me harmonic disorder.

Whether we do or do not go rogue doesn’t matter. I prefer commando.

As for static Pass labs displays at Axpona last April, I would like to propose
a suggestion for any company who brings equipment across
the country to allow visual examination only. Save some money and
tape up some fancy photos as that does not frustrate me as much.

There must have been a couple rooms using Pass gear at Axpona
but I can not recall a year back that well.

Let’s all book flights to Schaumburg in August now while ticket prices
are still low. I did!!!
My vote goes to the Akitika GT-102 over the XA25.
Quite a price savings too.

It’s a Stereophile Class B rated amp.

Hey Joeinid,

Before you start trashing gear in my collection can you do me the courtesy of waiting until I sell it first?? ESPECIALLY cause you sold it to me in the first place. That would be the considerate thing to do right?  LOL

I might have to start a rumor about AG Speakers...like if you get the Copper Colored Horn ones and place them too close to a window they can act as a Magnifying glass with the sunlight and burn your house down!!  :)  Happy Easter Buddy

Ha! 
Touchy eh.

The XA25 is awesome but depending on speakers, the GT-102 is a lot of fun. 
Don’t sell your XA25, like I did. Another regret. 
Happy Easter and Happy Passover to you and everyone. 
As mentioned above, it speaker/amplifier match always matters.

Try putting 500 watts and a high damping factor on a high sensitivity full range driver, or an 8 watt SET on a YG acoustics and see what it gets you.

Too bad there’s not a database where someone tracked every amp/speaker combination used at the various audio shows. Would be useful to see what combinations people used when working to sell their gear.
