Both should be fine - the decision depends more on your
preferences.
What about the power supply?
Thank you Nelson.
XA 200.5 transformers and capacitors are the same i can find in the x1000.5, aren't them?

Sorry to go slightly off topic. But it may prove to be helpful.
Hi Nelson
Is their any difference between the circuits of the XA amps and the X amps,
or is it just to do with the biasing.
My understanding is, they are similar to a supersymetric Aleph 0, with 2 gain stages instead of 3 which the original Aleph 0 had

As I recall we use one for each rail to get the voltage.

The choice is extended to the XA160.5
800d specs
Sensitivity: 90dB/W/m
Impedance: 8 Ohms nominal (3.1 Ohms minimum)
All I will add here is, GO FOR IT.
XA160.5 or XA200.5 will do the job. If you can afford it go with the XA200.5.
At least then you won't have to wonder about whether the XA200.5 would sound even better.

Power output, heat sinking, supply capacitance. They use
different taps off the same type of transformer.
I thought inside the X200.5 were two 2kva trasformers instead a single 3kva
If we are talking about the XA200.5, there is only one transformer inside, that is because it is a mono-block.
You need two mono-blocks for stereo
I know I need a pair of monoblocks
For example each Treshold sa12 has 2 transformers

I think I'll go for the 160.5. I hope they will do a good job. ( 3kva X 2 power supply is a warranty)
I' hope they will be here for Xmas
If you order them, they will come.
In 3 weeks, I think they will come within Xmas.

Is anybody able to tell me how much power can give the XA 160.5 on a 4 ohms load?
800d are hungry
Last time I looked, I got 360 watts.
Pass X ou XA for Maxx
Hello, I am new among you
I look for an ampli for driver my wilson 2s maxx , I know about it not too much what to choose between A classs has as pass serie XA or a series X ,
power amplifier X 600.5 or Xa 160.5 would please me a lot, somebody makes the comparison of its power amplifier
Thank you
