Pass XA160 for 8ohm, 89db speakers?


Hi there, just wondering if the XA160 can handle speakers that are nominally 8ohm and rated at 89db/1w/1m? I dont listen too loud and listen mainly to classical and jazz. Will the x600.5 be a better fit?

I have no direct experience with the XA160, but consulted my magic 8-ball and it said "signs point to yes".

Given the speaker load you describe and your listening habits, it would be hard to think of a solid state amp that would work better - including the x600.5. I'd go with the XA160.
