you didn't mention what type of pre amp you were using,
I have the Sophia 1's and the XA30.5 in an 18 X 12 X 8 room. I had the Bryston pre but it didn't work well with the higher freq. but controled the bass very well, Last year i purchased the Vac Ren. mkIII and it made all the difference in the world. The bass is still tight,but there isn't any harshness in the tweeters. I couldn't be more satisfied with my system.
There is more than enough power in the XA30.5. the amp doesn't switch to A/B until about 98db. At that volume you won't here any difference.
