In all reality, they're two completely different topologies. Pass doesn't sell any single ended class A amps anymore. They're all push-pull which is why the XA-25 is a more muscular amp. That Sudgen is clearly a single ended amp.

I have no doubt that PASS LAB has fantastic amplifiers. I understand your opinion, and thanks about it. My intention was to know the preference of the audiophiles who have listened Sugden and Pass. |
As someone mentioned, it's warmer sounding, which is generally expected of a single ended topology. That's not a very common solid state topology. Most turn to tubes for it. It's characterized by a dominant second order distortion harmonic. If that's the sound you're looking for, the Pass Aleph amps or some of the First Watt amps might interest you. |
