About the XA200.5
The Pass Labs XA200.5 is a high-end monoblock amplifier operating in pure Class A mode, delivering 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 400 watts into 4 ohms. It features a gain of 26 dB, an input impedance of 30 kOhms balanced and 15 kOhms unbalanced, and a damping factor of 200. The amplifier employs the patented Super-Symmetry ("X") circuit developed by Nelson Pass, which reduces distortion and noise by balancing the amplifier halves. It is designed to be stable into low impedance and reactive speaker loads, with a large power supply and fast rectifiers for consistent performance. The XA200.5 is praised for its spacious, three-dimensional soundstage, dynamic control, and ability to reveal subtle musical details while delivering powerful bass and dynamics. It weighs approximately 150-180 lbs and measures 19" wide by 11" high by 27.5" deep. Power consumption is about 700 watts at idle. The amplifier is built with robust, over-engineered construction and is considered a solid investment in high-end audio.
