Pass Laboratories will introduce the XA.5 Series Power Amplifiers at the 2008 International Consumer Electronics Show, next month in Las Vegas. Designed for audiophiles by lifelong audiophiles, the new amplifiers represent a peak in the evolution of Pass Labs amplifiers toward ever higher performance.

The XA.5 Series of power amplifiers consists of five models, the XA200.5, the XA160.5, the XA100.5, the XA60.5 and the XA30.5. All embody significant improvements on their classic Pass Labs predecessors, and all deliver the warmth, sweetness, depth and space that are the hallmarks of outstanding audio products. Working in a pure Class-A operation, the XA.5 amplifiers achieve their superb performance by incorporating all the refinements Pass Labs quietly introduced into its earlier models over the past several years.

All five XA.5 power amplifiers are available now from authorized Pass Labs dealers at the following suggested prices:
XA200.5 $31,000/pair (mono block)
XA160.5 $20,000/pair (mono block)
XA100.5 $15,000/pair (mono block)
XA60.5 $10,000/pair (mono block)
XA30.5 $5,000 each
