As far as the REF5SE with the XA100.5 goes, I preferred the XP30 with the XA100.5 over the REF Anniversary. My preference, others might have liked the ARC more. I did end up replacing the XP30 in my system with the ARC REF 10 though to pair with the XS300s. Again, my preference. |

sorry I dont have any experience with te Xs150/300 amplifier..... generally the pre and powerampli of the same brand are optimized to work together at the top.... but the synergies can give too "good surprise"... I have a Xp20 with te x250.5 -> upgrade to xa100.5 in the next week. before I try the great Xp20 than I go see if make sense change the preampli.... maybe a Ref5se but is too possible go the the Xp30 as too try a Nagra!

Running the XP30 and XA-100.5 in my mastering room. Don't have any desire to upgrade.

Well I finally decided to go for it and purchased the Pass XP-30 preamp last week. I'll give a full report once it's had some time to break in. A big thank you to Frank, Howard and Bruce for their valuable feedback on the XP-30 that helped make my purchasing decision easier. On a side note, I'm really glad that I bought a Salamander six shelf cabinet last year that can hold all these boxes!
Cheers, Ken |

Howard.......Good news. Your fabulous sound system deserves a top shelf preamplifier. You have assembled a real world class system.
