My experience is that all these Pass amps take 2 hours to sound their best, they don't throw off much heat until they are up to temperature.

Anyone have experience using these to drive Verity speakers?

I have a set of Fidelios and my little Aleph 30 isn't enough to drive them. Considered getting an Aleph 5 to match the period, but those are quite rare these days. Have been looking at Pass XA series. Also interested possibly in XA or X two-channel to drive Parsifal Ovations. Which of the XA series are the warmest sounding yet are able to balance tight control all-around? I read elsewhere that XA100.5 is one of the better in the series for that balancing act.

My reference has been a Tenor 150hps, but for everyday use I really love the Pass single-ended sound and simplicity. The imaging, balance, and upper mid sweetness of the Veritys is their strength for me and I want to help that shine.

Thanks!
