I'm always wanting to try more power with my speakers so I picked up this Pass amp locally. I've had one in the past, a few First Watts , and always liked them. First thing is the XA30 didn't play well with my 10y pre amp. When I adjusted the volume it would make make a loud clicks with each notch up or down. So I used an autoformer passive volume control. This combo sounded nice with my book shelf speakers but with my Altec Valencia something didn't seem right. Could it be because they are 16ohm ? Could it be that after years with set tubes I just can't listen to solid state any more?
any thoughts or suggestions?
