XA30.8 Class A Stereo Amp + XP-22 preamplifier.
Pure Class A power, dual-chassis control, one seamless musical experience.
The XP-22’s ultra-low-noise, dual-mono supply and single-stage volume control reveal microdetail and space you didn’t know were on the recording – black backgrounds, effortless dynamics, and a holographic stage that locks performers in place.
The XA30.8 Class A Stereo Amp take it from there, delivering 30 watts of pure Class A authority with the grip, texture, and tonal richness Pass Labs is known for – from whisper-quiet passages to full-tilt crescendos that stay liquid and composed.
Together, they don’t just play your collection.
They reframe it.

Meet the apex of Class A
When the Xs 300 monoblocks meet the Xs Pre 2 preamplifier, music transcends playback—it becomes an experience.
The Xs 300 delivers 300 watts of fearless, pure Class A power, sculpting sound with grip, scale, and tonal richness that feels alive.
Effortless at the quietest passages, limitless at concert peaks—this is control and color in perfect harmony.
Pair that with the Xs Pre 2—a three-chassis masterpiece Wayne Colburn calls “the best work I’ve done in 35 years.” With its ultra-quiet power supply, refined Class A gain stages, and precision volume control, the Xs Pre 2 unlocks breathtaking realism, layering music with nuance, space, and flow.
Together, they redefine what’s possible in home audio.
Scale. Texture. Space. Emotion.
A system that keeps you listening long after the lights go down.

This integrated amplifier sets a new benchmark in significantly narrowing any perceived performance gap between separate components and integrated amplifiers. Advanced technologies and real-world testing combine to create the INT-60 which presents 60 glorious watts per channel into 8 ohms, and doesn't leave class A until 30 watts thanks to its high-bias operation. This larger class A operating envelope brings lower distortion and greater loudspeaker control, delivering higher quality musical fidelity for your enjoyment.

The Pass Labs INT-250 is more than an integrated amplifier — it's a singular experience in musical immersion. Drawing on the celebrated achievements of the .8 series power amplifiers, the INT-250 takes everything you love about the INT-60 and supercharges it with 250 watts per channel of breathtaking performance.
With higher-power MOSFETs and more of them under the hood, the INT-250 has the effortless authority to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers with absolute composure. From delicate, whisper-quiet passages to soaring crescendos, it delivers music with such grace, depth, and realism that you'll swear the artist is in the room.
Every note is rich with texture. Every instrument has space to breathe. And every performance comes alive with the kind of emotional weight that only true Class AB engineering can provide. Whether you're listening late at night at low volume or filling the room with your favorite live recording, the INT-250 doesn't just play music — it sings.
Why choose the INT-250?
Immense Power – 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms for total speaker control
Refined Musicality – Lifelike sound that's as warm as it is accurate
Built for the Long Haul – Meticulous Pass Labs craftsmanship, inside and out
Complete Simplicity – Just one component between you and unforgettable sound
If music is your passion, this is your stage.

The XA25 offers great sound at slightly lower power, without frills, at a lower price. It embodies new components and innovative circuits coupled with the best elements of the previous generation.
Degeneration, “the other form of feedback”, has been eliminated. The output stage consists of a single pair of 800 watt new generation output transistors operating push-pull Class A. The result is faster, lower distortion, lower noise, higher damping and larger Class A operating envelope into low impedance loudspeakers, all in a simple 3 stage circuit with total of three pair of push-pull gain transistors.

The XP-12 starts with a new power supply. It uses an efficient toroidal design with both an electrostatic and Mu metal shield along with vacuum impregnating and epoxy fill. This gives us a very quiet transformer both electrically and mechanically.
The power supply circuitry itself is also lower noise and has additional filtering, a little more complicated but worth it.
The XP-12 uses the single stage volume control borrowed from the XS line preamp. This gives us one hundred 1 dB steps with lower noise and distortion while removing some signal path parts.
The gain circuitry continues to use our favorite transistors from Toshiba but has a larger higher biased output stage similar to the XS preamplifier auto bias. This makes longer and multiple cable runs easier to drive and gives us the advantage of simplifying our single ended output circuitry while increasing performance. Overall this makes for a quieter more neutral, musical and versatile control center for your system.

At Pass Labs we build Fet amplifiers with excessive output stages, huge heat sinks and massive power supplies. We use the highest quality components in simple linear topologies, assembled and tested with care and subtlety. They measure well, sound great, and are reliable. Twenty plus years of ongoing innovation have kept the X and XA amplifiers at the forefront of high-end audio.
The INT-25 embodies all this and less. A smaller stereo Class A amplifier at a lower price, it takes advantage of the lower power requirements to have simpler single-ended circuitry and fewer parts in the signal path. This also allows elimination of degeneration, “that other negative feedback” in all stages.
Simpler and fewer gain stages improves speed and stability. Lower voltages means the ability to run gain devices at higher bias currents, more deeply into Class A. Newer power Fet technology replaces banks of parallel small transistors with a single pair of industrial devices, each having a 700 watt / 40 amp rating. With no current-hogging issues and a new constant-current bias circuit to compensate for temperature drift, they connect directly to the loudspeaker without ballast resistors for lowest possible distortion and highest damping factor. No degeneration also increases the efficiency and Class A operating current, allowing greater Class A operation into low impedance and reactive loads.
The simple front end circuit uses two pairs of our favorite NOS complementary Fets in common-source mode in a current feedback (CFA) configuration.
The preamp section is a simplified single-ended version of the one used in the INT-60 and INT-250 with three line level inputs and no line level output.
Everything done in the signal chain from the microphone to the loudspeaker, forever leaves an indelible mark on the music. The XA25 amplifier section is direct coupled requiring no DC servos or frequency compensation, neither adding too nor subtracting from the experience.

As AXPONA 2026 comes to a close, all of us at Pass Labs would like to sincerely thank everyone who stopped by to listen, connect, and share in the experience with us.
It was a pleasure to spend the weekend with so many passionate music lovers, thoughtful listeners, and familiar faces who reminded us that great audio is always about more than equipment. It is about the moments, the people, and yes, the albums that convince us to stay for just one more track... and then three more after that.
We are grateful for your time, your enthusiasm, and your support, and we already look forward to seeing you again at the next show.
Until then, keep smiling, keep listening, and give your favorite album the attention it deserves. It has probably been waiting patiently for you anyway.

Everyone finds their own way into the music, and that is part of what makes the experience so meaningful.
At Pass Labs, we appreciate the different ways people listen, from full-system sessions to the quiet focus of personal headphone listening. Each path offers its own kind of connection, discovery, and enjoyment.
In these photos, the Pass Labs HPA-1c stands as a beautiful expression of that idea, offering a refined and engaging way to experience music with clarity, depth, and emotion.
Wherever and however you listen, the destination is always the same: a closer connection to the music.
