The references above to the X260's is somewhat misleading as the X amps are a Class AB design but biased into Class A at low powers, as opposed to the XA amps which are Class A designs. However, it is worth noting that the maximum power output of the XA 60.8s is well above their nominal rating. John Atkinson measured 150w into 8 ohms, 240w into 4 ohms and 380w into 2 ohms. From personal experience, they will not feel short of power in a small room.
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
