Angeboten wird „PASS LABS XA 160.5“ von Pass als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Transistor-Endverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9270707026 endet am 15.07.2026 um 10:37 Uhr.
Are you getting a fair entry into truly serious Class A monoblocks, or paying too much for the badge? At €8,500, this looks strongly priced versus the used market: I’m seeing the same model listed at €11,500, while a legacy pricing reference puts typical value around €13,000 and estimated value near €29,550 when new.
That makes this a very credible buy if the pair is complete and genuinely in good condition. The XA160.5 is well regarded for its grip, tonal density, and effortless delivery into real loudspeakers, with 160 W of Class A muscle and a reputation for sounding authoritative without getting coarse. If the original boxes, manuals, and caps are included, that’s meaningful upside on a heavy, high-end amp like this; just confirm service history and that both monoblocks idle quietly and run evenly, because at this level you want the practical condition to match the price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Pass Labs, an American high-end audio powerhouse, traces its origins to 1991 when legendary designer Nelson Pass founded the company in his California home workshop. Emerging from his earlier venture with Threshold Electronics, Pass pioneered prototypes of single-ended Class A amplifiers, enlisting collaborator Mike Burley to build custom CNC machines for production. The debut Aleph 0 model shipped in 1992, marking the start of a legacy rooted in pure, innovative solid-state amplification.
The brand focuses intently on a select range of components, excelling in power amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and phono stages, all hand-built in Auburn, California. Renowned for minimalist circuits and pure Class A topologies—often blending into Class A/B for efficiency—Pass Labs delivers exceptional warmth, detail, and realism. While they ventured briefly into headphone amplifiers like the HPA-1, their core strength lies in amplification, eschewing speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the ultra-high-end market, Pass Labs commands reverence among discerning audiophiles and professionals for its uncompromising engineering, industrial aesthetic, and emotional musicality. Products embody technical precision with timeless simplicity, sustaining a reputation for quality and innovation that has endured over three decades, making them a benchmark for those seeking transcendent sound reproduction.
