Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2?


I was wondering about this combo. I have a very large room. Personally I dont think it's enough power but what do you guys think?

I have a Pass Labs XA30.5 currently driving a pair of B&W 802Ds and it drives them OK. I could use a little more power but the 802Ds have a very steep impedance curve. However the midrange and highs are glorious and the bass is very deep and tight. It just not play as loud I would like at times. It can get a little loose on some passages. The Wilsons are much easier to drive than the 802Ds and the impedance curve is not near as steep. The XA 30.5 is the finest amp I have owned sonically speaking. I am barrowing the 802Ds until get my my Apogee Divas redone by Rich Murry at True Soundworks. I will be selling the XA30.5 and purchasing a set of Pass Labs XA100.5 monoblocks within the next month or two.
