Can a Pass Labs XA160.5 Drive a Set Of Thiel CS7.2

I know Mark well and have purchased a lot of Pass Labs gear from him. I would love to be able to do an in house trial. However, shipping the amps to Ohio is expensive and risky.

Thanks for commenting on this thread. I think I'm going to go with the X600.5's. In the past I've talked to Kent at Pass Labs and he was at a loss to explain why the X350 could not drive the Thiel's adequately. The X350's sounded fine on acoustic music or small ensembles but the sound stage would collapse on larger scale (many instrument playing simultaneously) pieces. My system is in a great room which is 20 by 40 feet. I might give Kent a call before I place my order. I listen to rock, blues, and Jazz and I value dynamics. Most folks drive the Thiels with very large amplifiers.

I talked with Kent at Pass Labs and he recommended the xa200.5 or the x600.5. He did not recommend the xa160.5 for the Thiel's. I ordered the X600.5's and will fire them up on Friday.

I got the amps a few weeks ago but I have not had the time until recently to listen to them. I'm satisfied with the amps. They are more detailed, accurate, and have more control of the low frequencies than the X600. They seem to be able to create more separation between instruments.
