About the XA160.8
The Pass Labs XA160.8 represents a significant advancement in the XA series of pure Class A amplifiers. Featuring 72 output power-MOSFETs, an enhanced power supply, and refined circuitry, the XA160.8 is biased further into Class A territory than its predecessors, capable of delivering over 320 watts per channel in Class A mode. The amplifier combines the best characteristics of Pass Labs' X series and Aleph topology through a unique single-ended Class A design. With its balanced input stage and minimalist signal path, the XA160.8 delivers voices with shape and depth, piano notes with full acoustic integrity, and rhythm sections with powerful attack and holographic sustain. The amplifier has received multiple awards including TAS Editors' Choice Award (2021, 2020, 2017) and Golden Ear Award (2018). Each unit weighs 123 pounds and features large blue circular meters on the front panel that indicate Class A operation.
