Pass Labs XA30.5 with Dynaudio Confidence 5

I recently auditioned the 30's on my dynaudio special 25's. It wasn't enough power amp spent a lot of time in AB mode on anything with any bass Others in forums have said they have had success with the C1. At low volumes in a small room it may work. I suspect if you listen to music with much dynamics and want the amp to remain in class a you may be disappointed. If a/b is not an issue for you it might work. I ended up going wih the pass XA 60.5 and am breaking them in. It runs the special 25s very well not leaving class A. I was also very surprised to find they also run my 801 series 3 in class A even wih heavy bass. I just got these and honestly they are fantastic As I picked up the amps my dealer told me these amps have some muscle. He was right. Note many here have said the specials have a bit of bass bloom. I don't hear that at all with my setups. I love them and recently got them as a last couple remaining pair in US from my dealer. Good luck wih your decision. Note I am runnin the speakers and amps wih ref 3, IO phono, basis debut and ovation, triplanar, vector transfiguration and NOS spectral MCR.
