Who did hear the new Pass Labs .8 series amps?

Skootb: I too would be interested in your observations about the differences from your former x250.5. Please expound.

I own a pair of xa60.8s.

LOVE them. I think they do everything better than the x250.5, which was my previous amp.

To be honest, I pretty much thought that about the XA30.5 vs. the x250.5. The later was a little better in the bass though.

Cool, sounds good. Thanks for your report.

How do the XA30.5's compare to the XA60.8's?

I went from the XA30.5's to the XA60.5's and got much better imaging and separation, mostly due to Mono Blocks Vs. Stereo amplification.

I think the 30.5's were a little bit sweeter in the mid and high frequencies though.

I wish I knew, unfortunately I haven't heard the new series. I just thought it was worth noting that the X250.5 was already bested (in my opinion) by a comparably priced amp in the XA.5 series.
