XA6950 Pure Class-A Stereo Integrated Amplifier

"The Xindak’s sonic character revealed itself quickly slightly besting the reference Bryston B100 SST in every way. The Xindak consistently revealed a large sense of space being neither too bright nor rolled off in the highs. The tonal balance was one of warmth with deep very taught powerful bass." Bill Schuchard, Stereomojo

This award winning XA6950 is a serious contender for the title of the best all around stereo integrated amplifier for the money. The seriousness can easily be seen by the astounding weight of 57.2 pounds (26 Kg), rated 100 W/channel in pure Class A, an all-out thermal management system that includes heavy-gauge fins, grooved enclosure, and the armor-like aluminum faceplate. Within lie two toroidal transformers, one for each channel. The XA6950 actually allows the preamp and power amp sections to have their own dedicated power regulator. The preamp section is adopted from the highly regarded Xindak XA8200 preamplifier. The pure Class-A power amplification is achieved by the asymmetric current negative feedback design for much improved efficiency. The output stage utilized three pairs of audiophile-grade high-current SANKEN transistors. Consistent in all Xindak's products, only audiophile-grade components find their way into the XA6950: Dale resisters from the USA, Wima MKP capacitors from Germany, Gotham wiring from Switzerland, to name a few. One of the RCA unbalanced inputs uses an American-made CMC 24K gold-plated connector for the most critical listening.

To be used as the centerpiece of your music system, XA6950's operation is pleasantly intuitive and straightforward. The elegant two-tone front panel features a motorized volume control at the center, and two soft-touch buttons for Power On/Off and Source selector. Everything is microprocessor controlled, providing additional protection against abnormal operations, including thermal runaway. The VFD display at the front center provides current status of operation. The controls and settings on the front panel can also be operated by the full-function remote control that itself is very handsome with a die-drawn aluminum casing.

The sonic performance achieved by this non-pretentious, modestly priced XA6950 is remarkable. It is all there, the delicate, relaxing, extended and sweet highs, rich, warm, liquid mids, and the lows with speed and weight. The sound stage and imaging is stable and accurate. By packing outstanding performance in a small package, the XA6950 brings you right into the most enjoyable music world without worrying about the otherwise complex music system. Simplify your life so you have more time to indulge yourself. If your plan calls for only one amplifier, XA6950 would be the one and only. Expect surprises that are beyond all expectations.
