Stereophile Review of the Pass XA60.5's

[MDP]

Congrats Nelson, JA gave your amps a stellar review in their Jan. issue !

Calling them"The best sounding amplifiers he's ever heard".

"It's Class A all the way" !!

 

[Mike]

Time to sell the Classe and get the Class A!

cute…..but I trust you wouldn't solely on the basis of Mr Atkinson's endorsement

Of course I wouldn't, I was simply stating a great review.

Mark, I didn't quote you, rather, Mike…….regardless I was just poking' fun, I totally concur, great review. FWIW, I too am a NP fan, fond memories of my Maggie MG III's being driven by Threshold thirty years ago !

No problem Dave ! I've been wondering that if I stay with the Salon 2's, if an XA100.8 would be a good choice ?

Obviuosly both of our 'guts' would say …yes, time will tell, the .8 are do out in what, a couple of months ?

Or, XA160.8s? :skeptical:

Ask Nelson about the Salon 2s with the XA160.5s. He was (probably still is) running that very configuration.

Thanks Howard, Nelson told Mike that he thought the new XA100.8's would be his choice. If I don't change speakers I'm going to definitely try a pair.

It's cool that you mentioned Nelson using Salon 2's, I've heard that he's used them :woot:

Mark,

I bet the new Pass amps (or any Pass amps) on our Revels would be killer.

I'm very anxious to find out how good the new .8's are. Nelson never disappoints. I assume it will be at CES.
