Will this amp work as described below:
I would say no.  I have the xa25 with 92db Salk speakers.  It's plenty loud for me, but if you are playing at 90db with 87db speakers, I would think you want more power.

Choosing new drivers/crossover in a speaker build
I just built a 12db active crossover and linear power supply from Elliott Sound Products.  I must admit that it made quite a difference.  I am using it to split the lows to the subwoofers/highs to the speakers.  I wasn't sure if I would like it, b...
