The Pass Labs XA60.8 is a reference monoblock power amplifier engineered to deliver 60 Watts into 8 Ohms in pure Class A operation. Utilizing total channel separation in dedicated mono chassis, it combines pure Class A tonal sweetness and dimensional spatial resolution with a damping factor of 150 for authoritative low-frequency grip. Featuring 26 dB of gain alongside high input impedances (50 kΩ single-ended RCA, 100 kΩ balanced XLR), it drives a wide variety of loudspeaker loads with low noise and high current stability. Weighing 88 lbs per channel and drawing 370 Watts of continuous idle power, the XA60.8 provides an ideal entry point into uncompromised monoblock Class A performance, dynamic headroom, and expansive soundstaging.
