Pass Labs Speaker Choices

trust my intuition?

anyone want to rub ice cream on me ?

I have two systems. My “second system” has evolved to becoming my favorite.

Linn Akurate DS w/ Katalyst (DAC plus Streamer) feeding into a Pass Labs two box XP-20 preamp into a Pass Labs XA-30.8 Class A amp into Spendor D9 speakers. Love, love the sound at all volume levels. Also have a Rega TT station but plan on upgrading that someday…

I have a Backert Rumba Extreme 1.3 into a Pass XA-30.8 and DeVore O96’s. I have had this setup for about 6 months and I still can’t wait to get home from work and listen. A match made in Heaven.

I have a Lumin x1 feeding a Pass Labs 30.8 into Magico A3…highly recommended.  
Wonderful focus, speciality, and PRaT…I occasionally replace the Lumin with a Thorens TD124 with Pass Labs XP12 and XP17 - just a tad better. The 30.8 has no problem driving the Magico A3 - never leaves class A.

I used an XA25 with my PMC Twenty26 and it was the best combination. I also tried with my MB2SE that was underpowered. But the right power to weight ratio is the best amp among tube and solid state I’ve heard with the PMC Twenty26.
