I have posed the question to have a pair of xa160.5 at the Pass inporter but he say me that are no more available....."if you have lucky a second hand but new can you forget....."
For the pre a XP30 is much better vs XP10/20 that are very similar...
is too true that with Sasha the XA100.8 (or .5) are more as enough...but the XA160 is te best SS amplifier today available.... not Watt but the timbre... -> the XA200.5 is not so good....(IMHO) I can change the Pass with a Dag Stereo new (black) but Pass sound much better...!
If I change my speakers a Magico, Focal or Isophon are the more agree ut PMC is too a very great product!
Pass XA100(.5 or .8) is already enough....
cme29 you think to can have a pair of xa160.5 without problem? (ex demo or fast new...)?

I cannot get new, but I know a dealer that has a stock of units available that are traded in and refurbished by Pass Labs.
