i would think the xa30.8 would be plenty in the op's application, even for loud listening... tremendous power reserve in the pass amps, and fritz's lovely speakers are not hard to drive, more efficient than stated 87 db/w/m in real world applications
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
