Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them.


These amps, more often than other (pass lab amps) appear in the used market, from what I have observed.

I am considering getting one for my system (after listening of course). Moving up from an integrated, but as a noob, wondering why so many are in the used market.

She's right. I know 2 audiophiles that lost their lives with those damn XA60.5's. One minute its just sitting there floating calmly between your speakers, and without realizing it, the amp slips out of balance and starts spinning. It rips the speaker cables out of the binding posts and takes your head off just like a big weed whacker. I've seen pics of incidents involving double bi wiring and the images are horrific. Stay away from those amps. Its not worth the risk.
Wow!
The first two reponses are terrific!
Wish I could think of something that clever!

All I can think of to say is that they are only 60 wpc and probably the people
selling them need more power. Oh and being full Class "A" amps they are
going to run fairly hot, and it it summer so thenowners might want a cooler
running amp.
(Sorry I could not be as funny as the first two repondents.)
Yeah, that's possibly it, and imo, the bigger and more powerful Class A amps just sound better on the overall. Plus, you need pretty efficient speakers for the 60W amps to work, imo.
