Vandersteen TREO CT's with Pass Labs XA60.8


Was just wondering if anyone has heard this combo together?

The TREO’s being at 86db sensitivity are a little tougher to push, but the Pass amp, being "pure Class A" is quite buff.

Also the TREO’s being 6ohm give the Pass amp a little more head room.

Just wondering. Anybody heard this combo?

I’m running XA 60.8s with Quatro CTs, which sounds amazing. Your combo will make the amps work harder, but they’ll probably be fine. That 60 watt rating is very conservative.
I had an XA 30.8 hoooked up to my Quatros for almost a year. It sounded very impressive, with glorious midrange and top to bottom excellent presentation. However, in comparison to the 60.8s, it was somewhat deficient in the center image and didn’t have the same balls-out drive and bass slam, even with the powered subs.
