I kind of feel the same as Abe. While this amp is by all accounts a world beater, I can't help but think they could make a more powerful single box stereo model for just a little more money. Instead, in the full class A lineup, they make you double the price to step up to the mono block pair xa60.5 (or .8).
In the Aleph era, they offered a second stereo model called the Aleph 5 at 60wpc. I wish Pass still offered a corresponding model in the current XA series but they seem to be more interested in the upper end models that evidently butter their financial bread. I once asked the company why they don't offer a more powerful stereo model in full class A, and received a vague answer that Nelson simply prefers mono blocks. Not sure I buy that as the complete story...
