The INT-30A is basically the 30.5 with a passive preamp built in. 30 watts of class A power.
The INT-60 is based on the .8 series, hence it's weight. 60 Watts, the first 30 are class A. The preamp portion is active.
I wasn't too impressed with the sound of the INT-150 which was based on the X150.5 amp with a passive preamp. I think it was the passive preamp that killed the sound of the INT-150.
I owned the X150.5 and X2.5 separates. I thought I would save space by replacing the pair with the INT-150. Big mistake. The INT-150 didn't have the dynamics of the separates. It was OK but kind of polite and bland sounding. I think it was the passive preamp that ruined it. Sold it.
