Hey guys new here and wanted to chime in as also proud owner of a new XA30.8 about three months ago. I upgraded from a First Watt J2. The J2 is a very nice sounding amp but the XA30.8 sounds just as good but far more muscular. J2 on Steroids. lol I love the 30.8 proly be my last amp.

I own an XA-30.8 and I absolutely love it. It has a very firm grip on my SHL5 pluses.

Anyone compared the unit against the Ayre VX5? Both seem to get great reviews.

Paul... I currently own a 30.5. I wish it had just a bit more bass. I have been thinking of the MC452. Could you offer some thoughts on the bass performance between your 30.8 and the MC452?

The pass I feel is better for female vocals by far also with class A there seems to be less congestion it's smooth and fast, and the pass is faster the the Mc452 in my view. Another thing I like about the pass is when the music changes from a quiet passage to loud passage it frightens you it's like a supper charger has kick in!!! I like that. What I like also is when the pass leaves class A it gets a bit angry and takes command of everything. Again I think the mc452 was good! I was after something more, I believe The Pass is more!! And to think this is there starting point in class A amp imagine the XA100.8s |
