I've found some links to XA100.5 in Japan : http://joshinweb.jp/audio/5179/2098141150805.html http://www.e-na.co.jp/joshinweb/product/index.asp?prd_id=2098141150805-31-808 http://ichinose.tblog.jp/?eid=136156 It seems to be available in Toronto too : http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=816362
I have found a pdf of the XA100.5 : http://www.electori.co.jp/PASS/XA100.5.pdf The 2 big differences are : selectable gain : 26 or 30 db (the XA100 has only 26 db gain) and a much higher max current : 28 A against 5 A. This point should bring a better power with low impedance speakers. The other specifications are very close. The XA60.5 seems to be available too, but no XA160.5 or XA200.5.
The last informations are that the "official" prices would be unchanged, like when the X.5 replaced the X amps. Here in Europe, there was no discount on Pass, so no change for us !
