I think the xp-30 with 3 chassis would be about as far as Pass could go, at least without a complete new preamp design.

Frank750 has already indicated that the xp-30 has performed better than the ARC ref40 pre in his system with the xs amps.

Thanks Shane. I remember Frank saying that about the XP-30.

yes, Pass is currently developing an XS series preamp...expected by CES 2014. It's cost will be approx. double that of the XP-30.
