Revel Ultima Studio 2 & Pass Labs XA30.5

Z;
Thank you for the response.
x150 & xa30 are both about the same a/b. 150 Watts vs 130 watts, If I remember correctly.....

So, How loudly do you listen? When you find you need more “ umph “ on the x150?

i have a Thiel that is 87 dB efficiency & The amp runs them well?

My typical listen is 75-80 dB 
& 85 dB-90 is my loud ?

Thanks again

Your system is sweet
what Speakers & amps did you own , before you got to your end game?

Ive heard the studuo’s before & it was so so; but I heard them with the right amp & now I’m sold!!!

My thought is I could live with lower hp, then upgrade at a later point; if required
It sounds like you did something similar 
tubes s & then pass

Gents :

I'be been running the Studio2's with the Pass Labs XA30.5 & CJ ET3.
(et3 has lots of gain, only 48 of 100 on preamp at 87-90 db)

It appears to be plenty......
125 watts a/b(6 db headroom)and 30 watts Class A

at 87 db, and way louder than I can stand, the 30 watt needle just lightly wiggled

very happy with bass & high end.....and power

Now, I'll spike the speakers and see how the bass reacts
