My XA100.5 is room temp in standby mode, warm after powered on, slightly warmer after a few hours of music. The XA160 was warmer still, but never hot, the Aleph 2 was VERY HOT. There was a photo circulating on the net of the Aleph 3 with a fried egg on top of it.

I don't believe the XA-.5 series are single ended Class A. There are very few single ended Class a solid state amps. I believe the First Watt is one. Here's a white paper about Single Ended Class A written by Nelson Pass, the designer of the First Watt. I think if the A-30.5 needle is moving around that you might be exceeding it's power limits. Not sure, though. You should contact your dealer for further info. |
