Pure Class‑A Integrated Amplifier
The XA6800R (II) is one of Xindak’s most well‑known and long‑running integrated amplifiers. It is a fully solid‑state, pure Class‑A design, developed as a major evolution of the original XA6800R, with revised internals, improved thermal management, and added digital connectivity. [xindak.com]
Design Philosophy
- Pure Class‑A operation
- Focus on musical flow, tonal richness, and stability
- Built around symmetrical circuitry and high‑current power supply
- Designed to combine Class‑A smoothness with solid‑state control [xindak.com], [audioemotion.co.uk]
Xindak explicitly positions the XA6800R (II) as a no‑compromise Class‑A amplifier intended to be the core of a high‑quality stereo system.
