I'd be very curious what the BTU rating is! They may turn the room into a Finnish Sauna besides playing music. :D

Most arc welders do not deliver as much current as these amps!

Since they leave clas A at 80 watts, similar to the X600.5's unless you really need the extra power (who truly drives more than 400-500 watts) you may be better off with the X600.5's. Especially if you are running 4 ohm speakers. All the Pass amps are under rated as to power output.

Ivan - for what speakers? Aida's? Futuras? Something else you're hiding in your storage closet? :)

Desmond Harrington (former Lead Engineer for Krell) designed the X1000.5. I will PM you his email in case you are interested in hearing from the horses mouth!

Depending on what speakers, don't pass up (no pun intended) the XA200.5's.

The top dog Pass amp is the xs300 --> The Pass Labs Xs 300 delivers 2kW "all day long" | Stereophile.com
