appreciate all responses very much. There seems to be mixed views on the power needed to give me my low to mid 90's spl's. Rock and Roll is best served loudly. With good equipment sounds great. For what it's worth my hearing is very good at present. Just don't want to under buy power, as my ATI 6002 AMP in my main listening room is superb, tight, powerful dynamic, clarity, etc. with tons left over, driving very efficient Tekton Double Impacts upgraded, in very large area. I'm guessing, at my level of listening I would be in the amps AB mode anyhow? Just shopping for the lack of a better term, and using people on this sites expertise that far exceeds my own. Thanks all. Just in the early stages now.
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
