Pass Labs XA- ".5" ???

Driving VSA jr's, said to be 88 db, the meter would swing to 2 or 3 pm on quite loud levels of big band jazz. And it would regularly swing to 1 pm at "regular" loud levels.

Pass Labs told me the amp could handle much more than what I described, without distorting and the amp would be just fine.

Even though the meter may move, I highly doubt the amp is outputting anywhere near its rated power. All I was trying to do was support gandme's claim that the XA160 can power almost all speakers without a problem. The fact that the meters move indicating a transition from class a to class a/b operation has nothing to do with my contention that I do not believe most people need all that much power.

Thank you Tboooe!

So Joefama, are you all straightened out on the upgrade situation?

Just wondering because you seem to have disappeared.

Do you enjoy humble pie plain or a la mode?

i am wrong so often that I definitely prefer my humble pie a la mode..adds variety to an otherwise daily occurence :)
