Pass Labs is indeed a rich seam to be mined. Two ACAs can be used as a pair of monos for the extra power and there is a range of First Watt Class A power amps around the 20 wpc mark which are also reputed to sound magical. Very informative Pedro, thanks.
Thank you so much for making these videos! I'm budding audiophile and I believe I want to buy a pair of Sibelius one day to test, so the videos have been a great help and entertainment to me. I'm just not sure if I should go with the XA25 or the INT-25 yet. I hear the INT is a tad warm sounding, slightly tube-like, but I'll just have to wait and see if it's too warm for me. After that, there's always the XA as you and Harley recommend. Regardless, I'm excited!
Okay, I'm convinced. Maybe it's a cultural thing, I don't know. You know how if you tied up some people's hands they couldn't talk? That's right. Frankly, and I'm not being ethnically prejudiced, just observing something, if Italian people could not use their hands to express themselves while they're talking they'd remain mute? Well now I am convinced that if there were no oboes Tchaikovsky could not have written orchestral music. That's right. It's amazing. Just listen to any of his ballet music, for example Swan Lake. Oboes oboes oboes everywhere. They spring up like reeds in a marsh. In fact now that I notice them every time I listen to music they stick out over and over and over again. Do you see what you have done to me? Every time I listen to music I ALWAYS notice the oboes. Before you they were just another instrument. Now they are indispensable. It's like eating bland food without salt. No fun at all. I'll never forgive you Pedro. You did this to me.
Pleasant surprise to hear Indian classical music in the background. :)
Buena idea para compartir tus videos con todo el mundo....

Solid state amplifiers for beautiful solid wood speakers. Nice review Pedro.
Loved my XA25 with my PMC Twenty26 speakers.

Thanks! The int 25 is supposed to be based on the xa25 afaik
I wonder how they would sound with the Herron 360 pre amp and M2 amps?
I have the same question..
What preamp did you use with the power amps?
