To All: I apologize for instigating some of the brouhaha with David
Penthouse,
Thanks for your input. I would love for you to elaborate a bit on your experience with the Q5 and the x600.5's, but I don't want to steal the S5 thread. I will start another. I am particularly interested in whether the xa200.5s will: 1) have the backbone to handle the difficult impedance curve and phase angle of the Q5's, 2) add a little needed (to my ear) warmth to the Q sound, and, 3) have the speed to and control to show off the Q5's remarkable capabilities. I know other amps are may excel in certain of these areas but I have chosen the xa200.5's as my anchor (against the recommended protocols of some) because I just cant find anything I like as much as Class A.
Thanks,
Paul
