Pass XA100 or X350.5


Own a X350, thinking of opgrading to X350.5 or XA100.
Have someone heard the XA100´s?
Use Kharma 3.2F and Wadia 301 with Kharma cables.

After more listening last night (stayed up toooo late), I would say that the top is sweeter and more well behaved. If you have speakers that are on the dark side I would definetly audition before I bought. In comparison to the 350, the 350.5 has a greater sense of inner detail, and tends to suck you int the recording. That is a good thing. The bass is so much more alive and life like. My speakers are -3 at 22hz and the 350.5 stretches them all the way.
Have ordered the xa100, mailed with Nelson Pass, and he was sure, that the xa´s was the best amplifier on my speakers.
Also spoke with a former owner of a x250, which now has xa100´s, he said that everything was better with the xa´s.
Will write in a week or so, when I recieve my new amps.
line_romer: please do keep us posted on your findings, preferably once broken-in.
