I've successfully used an XA30.5 with 85db speakers.
I'd have trouble thinking of any Pass and any W4S product even remotely in the same league.

Swapping W4S to Pass Labs XA- worth it?
I currently own Wyred4Sound ST500 MkII powering my Golden Ear Triton 1s.
Before it was Krell 400xi - and def felt W4S sounded much better -cleaner and (surprise) warmer. I am using it in HT setup or in separate "analog" path.
But upgrade bug is strong ))) and I read somewhere that GE uses Pass Labs XA in all demos.
I wonder if it worth to upgrade and will I felt improvements. Speakers are 92 db sensitivity, and low bass is powered.
Have anyone compared W4S mk II and Pass Labs XA 30.5 or 30.8 (I cannot afford more powerful Pass amps)?
