The odds are way in your favor that the Pass will have enough power.
Haven't heard the Hansen's, so can't comment.

Hansen Knight with Pass XA30.5 working?
Hi,
I have an nice offer for ex-demo Hansen Knight speakers.
I wonder if my Pass XA30.5 is enough power to drive them.
The Hansen are 87db, 6ohms rated but i haven't found any impedance curve.
Currently I have Dynaudio Special25 monitors(88db,4 ohms)which works nicely.
I'm a low to mid level listener in a mid sized room.
No rock or metal music.
My Pass amp never leaves ClassA (no needle bouncing)with this setup and listening levels.
Are the Hansen Knight a more difficult load than my Dyn monitors?
Any sugggestions regarding the Hansens?
I never heard Hansen speakers before.
I would have to travel quite a bit to audition them. If there is no way my Pass is enough Power I will cancel this project and might look elsewhere.
Thank you!
