I would also consider looking for the XA60.5's at the top end of your budget. Always been impressed with their performance when auditioning at local dealers. If not for their size, I was considering switching from my current Rowland 312 to the Pass Labs XA100's.
Amp suggestions
Hiya,
I'm thinking about upgrading my Parasound A21 amp. I'm driving PSB 4 ohm speakers and my rig is set up for 90% vinyl, 10% digital. Units I've considered in the $5-6000 dollar price range include:
McIntosh MC302
Bryston 4B-SST2
Pass Labs XA30.5
I don't play at very loud levels, but the 30WPC of the Pass concerns me a little especially given the 90 percent vinyl.
Any other brands and input greatly appreciated!
