Not terrible, not great. So... mediocre.
I would add the Stereophile measurements for the Pass Labs XA-25, which I believe is the best measuring Pass amplifier currently sold:
Pass Laboratories XA25 power amplifier Measurements | Stereophile.com
Sidebar 3: Measurements I measured the Pass Laboratories XA25 with my Audio Precision SYS2722 system (see the January 2008 As We See It"). Before performing any tests, I ran it at one-third its clipping power (see later) into 8 ohms for an hour. At the end of that time, the top panel was warm...
Definitely not on par with the likes of Hypex, Purfi, Benchmark, etc. but not terrible.
