I agree with planarspeakerfan that XS-150 is a better amp than XA-200.8.
For amp at this level, the power supply is as important as the amp itself if not more important. With a full size separate power supply for XS-150 for 150W Class A, it clearly has an advantage over the single chassis XA-200.8 with 200W.
I use XS-150 driven by ARC Reference 10 and they are the best sounding combo in my room, at least, best sounding as far.
