from eBay Summary:
This combination really lives up to all the hypes that have been posted here.
As many reviewers here have said, when used alone the X-A1 is lacking control over the bass. When bi-amped to the X-a50s, this problem is solved and you are rewarded with much more details to the music. The soundstage gets bigger and instrumental separation benifits from the increased clarity. The extra power also gives better dynamics with full emotion of the music been cleverly captured.
The highs sound really sweet and revealing yet not getting too bright (unless a poor recording is used). The vocal is well projected and sound very natural. And finally the bass is well extended, deep and controlled.
For those owning the X-A1, I strongly recommend adding these power amps to your set up. It might be the best upgrading that you have ever done to your system!!
