Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?

Hello all, I'm driving Paradigm Tributes with XA60.8 monos.  Aesthetix Calypso, Auralic Vega, mRendu, NAS/Roon/Tidal, Shunyata pc's, Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Interc's, Big Silver Oval speaker cables round out the system. My listening room is narrow 13'w x 17' long,  9' ceilings. I'm goona be moving to a larger place and I kinda got the shinin' for a pair of Revel Ultima Salon 2's and before I work myself up into a lather thought I might ask the title question: are the XA60.8s up to the challenge? I've only had the 60.8s a few months, I like them and don't really want to change things up if it ain't really necessary. (I traded up from the 250.8 stereo) Peace and thanks

The XA-60.8's should be able to drive the Revel Ultima Salon 2's .
Of course some of that may depend on how large the room is and how loud your average listening levels are.
In a really big room at loud levels the XA-60.8 may run out of gas.

I guess the decision then would be whether you like the 60.8's or the Salon 2's better.

The 60.8s stay in class A until 122 watts peak. What do you extrapolate from that?

That they should have plenty of power to drive most speakers to more than satisfactory levels in most rooms.
