Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5?

Wow. 200 hours and the Stirling are sounding really great!

My Leben cs600 seems to run out of juice though - especially on the digital side. The gain from my phonostage leaves some room, but the 2mV output from my DAC not so much.

I'm thinking Pass Labs w/a tube pre and am curious if an XA25 will drive them? Or an XA30.5 might be better? Any experience would be helpful. Gracias, amigos.

Tannoy what a voice. I'm less than 100 hr in on a pair of Cheviot's and they keep getting better.

Driving them with a PL Dialogue HP @ 40 wpc triode and haven't gotten close to using it all, I don't have any experience with Pass Labs But I'm not sure that 25 wpc would be enough since that's the power you have now.
