Are Pass Labs XA60.8 mono amps enough?

Hello everyone,

I plan to buy a class A Pass Labs monoblocks pair for a Focal Scalla Utopia system. These speakers are very easy to drive (92.5 db sensitivity)

I'm interested in the XA60.8 model. I wonder if it is worth waiting to have the budget for the XA100.8. If so, why?

I'm 25% home theater / 75% music. My room is rather small: around 230 sq. ft. I don't crank up the volume very much

Thanks for your help

You’re unlikely to push the amps beyond Class A. And even if you do these amps have enough headroom in A/B to tickle your eardrums. I’m using X260.8 monos with Wilson Sabrina that are notoriously difficult to drive and I almost never see the bias meters move, which means I’m in the 35w Class A range. Good luck!

Did you mean to say double that into 4? These amps double their power into 4ohm load so it’s 520 watts per channel into Sabrinas…I would assume it’s 68w into 4ohm in Class A…no?
