Marco,

Actually, what you're saying makes a lot of sense.
I have looked at the pass xa30.5 and its received incredible reviews and the new .8 seems to be a big improvement over the earlier model. I guess my thinking was with the x250 I would be sort of future proofing myself. Class A to ten watts then A/B after with plenty power if I ever needed it.

Do you have any experience with Class A amps?
I have never heard one. You're also right 30 watts should be plenty to run the Klipsch. It's a 80 pound 30 watt amp!!

As far as the 275 goes, It's a classic and cheaper on the used market than the pass. Plus, I've always told myself before I leave this earth I have to own one piece of Macintosh gear.

Oh well, back to the research!

Thanks again for all your help.
