Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???

OK, can we get verification that the XA can be upgraded to the XA.5????

Joefama,
You cannot send a pair of XA series amps to Pass and have them upgraded to XA.5 series. Perhaps the cost "upgrade" you allude to is the price difference between the current XA model and its' XA.5 counterpart.

Call Peter and get clear on that. You misunderstood.

I have an email from Pass to all dealers stating that very fact.

Agenda? I don't think so. You haven't read enough of my posts old buddy.

Just for fun...who can name a speaker that would present a load the XA-160's could not handle? Let's try to make a BIG list.... everyone is invited.

Gandme, I think you'd have be very specific as to what the criterion for "handle" is.

How about....... bring out the best the speaker has to offer. I think even Pass Labs would acquiesce and "say the X-600.5 would be a better match for some".. ie, B&W 802D etc. I'm sure there are many other designs that prefer more push/pull s.s.amps or big tube amps( like 100 watts a channel)but do they sound better?
So how about a list of the worst of the best speakers to be paired with the XA-160's, I hope you understand, We want to match these wimpy 160 watt class A mono blocks with a speaker that just will not upen up and speak pure music to YOU under such under powered conditions.
