Priced at $4,900 or £4,000, the XA25 is the most affordable of Pass Labs’ power amps. (Australian pricing isn’t available but converts to about AU$7,000)
If you’re an audiophile looking for your next amp, you may be wondering whether 25 watts is enough. Sure, it’s easy to err on the side of more watts, but what will you be missing in terms of clarity? In this case, less is more. The XA25 sounds amazing with low-sensitivity speakers such as Harbeths and Magnepans.
