Is the Aurieges too good for its own good?

I tried a Monbrison with a Pass FirstWatt F5 and would not recommend the combination. The XA25 has also a lower input impedance at 47K (vs. 100k for the F5) which makes the electrical match to the high-ish output impedance on the Aurieges and Monbrison.

The Pass Shindo Combo took the live out of both components and I really do like both, just not as a match.
