| Am I Getting Soft Here? So many people sound like my experience. Sold everything raised my kids. Retired, started over. I'm not rich. I don't have audio stores, a society, or any audiophiles around. So I bought speakers and had some equipment. And I am such a wise ... | |

| Pass Then vs. Pass Now XA 25 is a very pleasant sound with good bass control. Xa30.8 is double the weight of the XA25! It’s very rare to hear someone say they they don’t like the sound. Tastes do vary. I think the first watt stuff will lack reserve power. If you don't... | |
