The middle sibling of the XA.8 series, the XA100.8's realize a muscular yet highly refined sonic profile. Like all Pass Laboratory's power amplifiers, they features both single-ended and balanced inputs, Furutech five-way binding posts and a convenient ground terminal for safe subwoofer connection.
Improved constant-current sourcing, precise voltage references and current-feedback all represent new benchmarks in state-of-art amplifier design. The result is a larger, more realistic soundstage, sharper transient response and the prized ability to reach concert-hall dynamics and realism without strain.
Designed for audiophiles by even more demanding audiophiles, they invite listeners into the music as never before. Pass Labs uniquely molded each model's front end to the specifics of its output stage so that the amplifiers front ends vary in size, voltage, bias current, dissipation, and singel-ended vs push-pull bias distribution.
The directly coupled front ends, which house the input and voltage gains stages, maximise each model's output stage performance, while imparting to each models its own subtle and unique sonic signature.
These are Pass Laboratories ultimate expression of Power Amplifiers - the perfect blend of science and visceral emotion.
