Pass Labs XA60.5 experience?


Has anyone spent a quality moment with a pair of Pass Labs XA60.5s? I cannot find a critical word / review about them anywhere on the net.

Many thx

Can you demo one in home?
I'd try the 30.5 first and at the loudest levels, see how much the meter flickers.
If you don't leave class 'a', look no further.
If too much meter flicker, you're into A/B which you may not want.
The 30.5 is around 200@4 per side, 'at redline' which is firmly A/B.

even if you are pretty.....ambitious....I can't see needing more than the 60.5

Proviso. IF the speakers present a wacky load from the phase angle you may need more power. IF they drop to some crazy load impedance you may need more powere, especially if the impedance dip and high phase angle are at the same frequency range.
