BRAND: Pass Labs
SERIES: XA200.8 Power amplifiers
TYPE: Power Amplifier
Pass Laboratories, Inc. was founded in 1991 by Nelson Pass. Operating out of his shop at home, Pass developed prototypes of a single-ended Class A amplifier design. At the same time, he and Mike Burley were constructing an in-house machine shop with three home-built CNC milling machines with which to produce the amplifiers when the design was finished.
OVERVIEW
Are fabulous-sounding 400-watt-plus per channel class-A peaks attainable without loss of the musical detail or audible meltdown? Yes, through repeated listening tests and continual technical innovation that push performance standards, the XA200.8 achieves what most amplifiers can only dream about. Even for the most demanding, complex musical passages in larger rooms at high sound pressure levels, this model offers headroom to spare.
