Pass XA 100.5 vs Lamm M1.2

rlwainwright--the XA series is pure class A. The 350.5 is not--they are 2 different animals. So I say you need to "wake up"--dude.

Get the Lamm they have more cache and sound great. The Pass sound great too but you won't make as many people jealous.

What a great reply! Bingo.

I think in both cases you will prefer the Class A versions of each manufacturer's lineup. Which of the A/B amps you are familiar with do you prefer? I suspect you would also end up liking the same manufacturer's Class A design over the other. I also suspect that you will love whichever one them you choose - both among the best SS amps available. The Pass XA-30.5 is the best SS amp I have ever heard - but I don't need much current or watts for my speakers.

It's hard to go wrong with the Lamms. They have a sound only a Lamm can give.
