Best speakers for a Pass XA 30.5


Dear all,

I'm going to purchase a Pass XA 30.5 and I would appreciate very much  your advice and suggestions about the above mentioned matter, I would like to put my XA 30.5 in the best possible conditions to sing at its best.

So medium high sensitivity 92 - 94 db, and 8 ohm regular and easy impedance are required.

My listening room is abt 23 x 15 ft, wooden floor, no carpets, no curtains but a lot of furniture.

I listen to rock, jazz and electronica to low-medium/medium levels.

I currently own a pair of Totem Mani 2 but I would like to find speakers easier to drive for the Pass.

Both stand mounts with good bass and floor standing are fine, and up to 5000 $ used.

I look for deep soundstage, high resolution, musicality and smoothness.

Please consider that I'm in Italy so I cannot listen and find some of your brands so easily ...


Thank you very much

I had a Pass Labs XA30.8 and had no problem driving Bryston mini-t speakers or Proac D30R speakers.
I’ve had great results driving Vandersteen Treo CT’s with a 30.8.  But it also makes my Buchardt s400’s sing.
Thank you doni42, so +2 for the Buchardt...

The 30.8 is said to be a relevant improvement in respect of 30.5, have you had the chance to experience the matter?
Interesting discussion, not wanting to hijack the conversation, but will it match well with GrahamAudio LS 5/9 87db?
Also what pre amps are you guys using ?
been looking at Don Sachs pre and the Supratek pre’s
