Very well said Ken. As I understand it, the Static Induction Transistor ("SIT") invented by Nishizawa from Japan is now taken to a completely new level by Nelson in the XS and .8's and they are truly something special. Interstingly, I have the option to trade my XA200.5's in to the dealer for 12 months at my cost for a pair, if I like the XA200.8's. I pulled the trigger on the XA200.5s due to a phenomenal deal but preserved the option. They have my attention big time but I want to pick my speakers first!!!

FWIW, my local dealer (Overture, Wilmington, De) swears by Spectral amplification driving their Magico line and yes they 'used' to be a Pass dealer as well. |

A big thank you to Chuck and Paul for the information you posted on the new .8 series of amps. It was captivating reading! Now all we need to do is hear them for ourselves.
Best, Ken |

One interesting thing I noticed is that both the XA-160.8 and XA-200.8 are more efficient than their .5 series counterparts. Each of these amps draws 100 watts less power per channel.

Not surprising really, since they put out significantly less peak amps than their .5 series counterparts, at least according to the specs listed (40 vs 48 for the XA 200, 30 vs 36 for the XA 160). Hmm...

+1. Yeah - Great link. I'd like to hear the XA100.8 and compare it against the XA100.5
