I know a lot of folks claim to love the sonic signature of the classic .5 series. After upgrading from XA-100.5 to XA-160.8s, I definitely don't fall into that camp. The dimensionality and holographic sound, coupled with the control and finesse of these amps is simply amazing. I went in wanting more power to control my speakers merely expecting a minor improvement in sound, and came away completely blown away at just how much of a more realistic presentation I was rewarded with.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.
