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.

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.
Cal,

That is a goal worthy of IAS.
International Audiophile Society.

Anyone with other great ideas
please submit them.

Best,
