New XA 100.5's
I bought these from Jeff (harri009) earlier this year and had a couple of days to audition them. They are a joy to listen to and so much better than the previous amps.
Forgive the iPhone quality pics!

Those are fine amps. I am sure you will get a lot of satisfaction from them.

Very nice, John.
I have a very similar set up in terms of the amps, the speakers and the source, and I'm very happy with it. |

Do you think the XA100.5´s have sufficient power for the Magnepans (3-series or 20?)

I listen to classical music and for some pieces I do like to crank it up loud. |

Do they leave class-A at loud volume (meters wiggling?)

Sometimes the meters move, but only when listening at high SPLs and only at forte orchestral climaxes. I cannot tell from the sound when it happens.
