| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @almarg WOW. So as far 4 ohm/ 8 ohm, im not getting "louder" (for this specific set up), presuming the sensitivity is the same. Or at least I am not doubling my volume like I thought I would be. That explains some of the responses that I didn't... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @jaybe " I’ve run a 30.5 through an AR pre to 8 ohm 86db sensitivity speakers in a fairly small room. No problem at all with volume to pretty loud levels. I don’t believe it ever got out of class A but have no way of verifying that. Pass will als... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @stttt Those look good, thanks! Added to list! | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @yogiboy " The Aerial 5t is a 4 ohm speaker. BTW, why do you feel that you need a 4 ohm speaker? The impedance changes with most speakers!"Ok, well, I don't know anything about impedance changing. Not that I needed another variable in the mix, b... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @jsautter Thanks for the input! Just to make sure we are on teh same page, my goal is to keep the amp running in class A for my listening needs. at 8 ohms, it produces 30w/ch. at 4 ohms it produces 60w/ch. So, there is more headroom fro Clas... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @georgehifi Agreed, that is what I am shooting for. Just, not a boat load of 4/6 ohm shelf speakers out there, but they are out there, and increasingly enough it seems I have enough options to consider this amp as something for me (where as bef... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @stereo5 Yea, I hear ya there! I am doing my best to be realistic with the right speaker, trust me. I may go up to $2500 new/used. That's pretty significant, but so is the amp. Due to cost, the purchasing will be over a time frame, and refle... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @razorbraun Thanks! That speaker is now on my short list. How do they sound at lower volumes? The limited reviews I came across noted that to sound full they had to be "pushed" a little, or turned up. I'm seeking speakers for low to moderate l... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @ostrey93 Those speakers look like good ones, too. Do you think they might not be up to par with the amp? I only say this because of the sweeping cost difference between the amp and speaker, and it may not matter that much. Also, how do the spe... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 @jaybe I emailed them, and Kent was helpful with providing a lot of information on how to determine what was best for my set up, but did not mention specific speakers, except one that was to expensive ($13k/pr). I was hoping by now, I would have ... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 Thank you everyone for your help, I will be looking into these speakers! It's great to hear from everyone that has them and can speak for them and also clear up some confusion I had about the amp. Seems pretty consistent, regardless what I do, b... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 Synergy, ok. I will have to focus on that when eyeing speakers. Given the cost of the amp, used, it will be a bit after I purchase it before I get speakers, so I hadn't totally thought that far, other than at least validating most book shelf's w... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 Jackd, Found a hometheaterhifi review that compared the 30.8 and the x150.8, and it really secured my interest in the xa30.8 over the x150.8. Also I did follow up with reviews comparing 30.5 to the 30.8. This also explained the class A and AB... | |
| 4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8 Thanks everyone! Wow, this amp was underrated that much? Yogiboy - I read in forums from individuals (who may have been uneducated or misinformed) that to get some volume/power get a 4 ohm speaker, that this would bring the output to 60w/ch. To... |
