I think the comment about more control and bass slam are nonsense. I listen
to primarily rock, and I can tell you the XA-60.5 have better bass control,
slam, (and tonal balance) than any amp I have owned, including Bryston 14B
SST and Moscode 401HR.
It's all about the speaker match, the size of the room, and the volume at
which
one listens. I listen loudly in a 24X19 foot room.
Why don't you contact Reno HiFi and ask Mark for an in-home XA-60.5
demo.
Then, you can compare the amps for yourself in your system and bypass the
speculation.
