I had a XA25 with a XP12 preamp. I was running them through Klipsch Cornwall IV’s. I thought it was the perfect combo for most music. But when I wanted loud, as I imagine you will want with electronic music, I would opt for more power. I have replaced the XA25 with X260.8 mono’s. Maybe not as delicate but for fast and authoritative bass, the monos are much better. In my opinion, your choice is a good one, just maybe not the best for electronic music. But Pass and Klipsch are wonderful together.
Pass and electronic music
I'm considering my next system and maybe going with class A amplification with high sensitivity speakers. I've never owned anything from Pass Labs and would like to try the INT25 with possibly the Klipsch Heresy IVs. I mostly listen to electronic music with a smattering of everything else (pop, country, American standards...) So how are Pass components with electronic music? Thanks!

@jwpstayman Does the Gold Note run hot? Would going to Class D be a good option? |
I have a Veloce preamp ( battery powered/tubes) that I have owned for 10 years and enjoy every day. It takes app 6 mins to warm up the tubes and sound great. The Gold Note is on 24/7, but like most european amplifier designs of late, they automatically go into a "sleep mode" after so many minutes of no music where they stay warmed up and ready to go, but only draw 8 watts. Crazy energy-efficient for solid state
