Yeah, I read that too and understand that it's pure class A, but what's this transition to AB thing? Do all class A amps have a peak transition to AB point or is this unique to Pass?
Pass Labs Xa60.8 Class A or should it be called class A/B?
I'm looking at possibly purchasing the Pass Labs Xa60.8, but am puzzled by one of its specifications. One reviewer stated that "The XA60.8 doesn’t leave pure Class A until it reaches 122 peak watts. Then it moves into Class AB for unheard of headroom for a 60-watt amp". I've confirmed this headroom is on the specification sheet, but if the amp actually can transition into A/B, shouldn't it really be called class A/B? Also, I'm confused as to if this headroom is available as continuous watts or just peak. Can anyone clarify?
