Dear Rtnl - I'm basing my impression of the XA30.5 from the outset that the only thing I change is the power amplifier from the normal situation (Krrel FPB300X) to a new situation (Pass XA30.5). The rest of the equipment, romm etc. is unchanged. Krell are famous for bass control, so its not supprising that other amps have other traids.
By the way, I use Exactpower EP15A on cd and preamplifier.
