Conclusions
The Pass Labs XA25 is not subtle about what it does well. Partway through my listening for this review, I began to imagine how this amplifier could be audio's Salvator Mundi. Its divine transparency blesses and illuminates every aspect of the music it touches, enhancing the subtlest aspects of tone, texture, microdynamics, space, and atmosphere. Its midrange force makes rhythms stronger, and exposes the flesh and blood of players and singers.
Those are rare and important qualities, but still, the XA25 made me nervous—it took me a long time to grasp the essential character of its unique sound. Now, finally, I'm awed by how lucidly it renders music. Pass Laboratories' XA25 is reasonably priced, strong beyond its power rating, and positively revelatory. Classe A se você, por favor.
Pass Labs specifies the XA25's output power as 25Wpc into 8 ohms and 50Wpc into 4 ohms (both equivalent to 14dBW). However, as you can see in figs. 4 and 5, the amplifier exceeded its specified power output at the clipping point, which we define as when the THD+noise equals 1%. At that THD+N percentage the XA25 delivered 80Wpc into 8 ohms (19dBW) and 130Wpc into 4 ohms (18.1dBW).
