Pass Labs Speaker Choices

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.

The detail and sound stage w lush rich musicality keeps me planted in my seat passing time listening to more and more music.
