This may be a dumb question but does that chart indicate 3.2 amps per XA160.5? Assuming that is what a/ch means...

Yes, 3.2A per monoblock.

Thank you.

This brings me to my question, has anyone directly compared the XA160.5's against the XA200.5's under similar conditions? Any info would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]

Joe between the two which route are you going?:scratch2:

Hi Ronald,

I think the XA160.5 are more than enough for my TADs and slightly more neutral. The XA100.5 are no slouches and are superb. They are slightly more tube-like, but I'll be using a tube preamp and I need the balance. A preamp like the XP30 is the perfect complement to the XA100.5's, in my experience. The Xs150 are just too expensive right now.

You are in for a treat my friend.

Yeah I know. Can't wait.

Do tell...what did you order?

xa100.5

Wow! Nice!!! You will love them. Massively wide and detailed soundstage. Incredible mid range (very tube like). Great choice!!
