Compared to what else is out there, a price of $5500 is low for an amplifier of this quality.....Absolutely, positively, and enthusiastically recommended!

The Pass XA30.5 is superb at portraying the emotional expression of music and always, always drew me into the musical experience during listening sessions. At the end of the day, that's what it is all about for me. The Pass XA30.5 amp is the best modestly powered solid-state amp I have ever heard and the best yet to come from the design studio of Pass Labs. Highly recommended.
