I have the xa25, much more powerful than its rated 25w, especially at 4 ohm dips. I have an F3 which sounds glorious, but not near as powerful. I’d love to hear people give their perspective on the F8.
Which amp would you choose and why - Pass Labs XA-25 or First Watt F8?
I'm very interested in Nelson designs and hope to upgrade to his low watt offerings for a smaller room I have. Does anyone have experience with the Pass Labs XA-25 and First Watt F8 amps? Both are rated at 25W. What main differences do they have? Which one has better bass?
