New Pass Labs Xs amps

At those prices, you absolutely should be able to get a home audition. And if it doesn't gel in your system, they should be able to modify the price until it meets your expensiveness criteria, no matter how much that costs:)

Got an extended audition today of the XS300's. The most grain free, open and absolutely controlled sound I have yet experienced. They are new classics and I dare say worth every penny of the asking price. I have also heard the XA200.5's. These amps beat them in every way. Other amp manufacturers have a big mountain to climb attempting to best these babies.

Dfw,
When you write that the XS beats the XA in every way, could you please elaborate? What was in the rest of the system? Thanks.

Based on what a friend said the sound of the XS was a huge step up in control and three dimensionality over the XA 100.5s. Never heard them myself. The bass is supposed to be immensely improved as well. This was on top of the line Avalon speakers but I don't know what. But for $85K they better sound great. But I wonder how it would sound on a more efficient speaker compared to the XA100.5s.
