Pass Labs XA30.8

All, 

Do you think Pass Labs XA30.8 has enough power to drive 86 dBL Dynaudio focus 380 speaker well? My room size is 23'x18'x8' and I sit about 8' away from the speakers. Usual loudness is about 50 to 67 dBL when measured with noise meter app using my phone.

Also, what sonic improvement will I hear going from Bryston 4B Cube to XA30.8? 

Thanks.

Can't find much measured info on those speakers, if they are true 4ohm you should be fine with the 30.8, because it gives 60w out then.
But if the speaker is more 8ohm with just a dip to 4ohms, the the 30.8 is only going to give 30w. Which at 86db may not be enough to go loud enough for you.

Cheers George
