Will this amp work as described below:


Sometime in the near future I may be looking for a USED Pass Labs XA30.8    Hear is where the advice is needed. 

My room is 13x13 with a hallway on one side and a small bathroom with a door on the other side. I listen to R&R loudly, Mid 90 spl. CD and stream. Using a SVS SB 3000 sub, with a pair of Fritz Carbon 7SE book shelf, 87 db  efficient speakers.

Just wondering if,  in that room, The Pass XA30.8 is powerful enough to listen at the levels I mentioned????  Thanks so much, as usual. Robert TN    current pre amp and power amp  Peachtree AMP 500 and Peachtrree PreDac     Just exploring up grading those 2 units. They both sound very good except I use an outboard Meitner  MA-1 Dac and don't need or use the digital side of the PreDac, trying to sell it as I write here. Merry Christmas

The measurements on the website are for full Class A operation with .01 % when it goes into class A/B operation it is well north of 100 wpc before it reaches 1%.  With Fritz's speakers in that size room it will be louder than you can stand.  The specs on Fritz's speakers are deceptive as they been used at shows with under 10 wpc tube amps.
