Pass lad amp owners of XA.5 series of amps.


Do the XA.5 series of amps have a easy sound to them like Cary/quicksilver/BAT tube amps? That kind of sound but maybe cleaner?. From what I have read on the internet and through the reviews this is what the XA.5 amps sound like. So I thought I would put this question on Audiogon and see what other Audiogoners think about tube amps compared to Pass labs having the same experience. I have Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers(Domus)at 90db 4ohm. I used to have a Cary Rocket 88 which is only 20 watts in triod / 30 in ultra-linear and loved it(had to sell it a few years ago). So I have been looking at the Pass Labs amps and a XP-10 Preamp so I do not have to deal with tubes. I am looking at XA30.5 or maybe stretching to the XA60.5m .Thanks for your thoughts ;^)
