If @grislybutter is right, the OP should be checking out some good SET amps. Why mess around with these Class A SS amps, go straight to a good 2A3.

Ahh, there it is. You have extolled some information that has no merit and now you say you won't (I say you can't) back it up. You were the one who challenged my post regarding the sensitivity of this speaker. I gave you facts to validate that as...

You are confusing facts with your opinion. But you can just ignore my comments that would serve us best. No, I'd really rather not ignore your comments. I find them perplexing and amusing all at the same time. This is a speaker that you have no...

What power amp did you use with the Parsifals? When I first got them I had a 300B amp that I immediately sold because I knew that wouldn't work. I borrowed a friends 60 wpc CJ amp and it sounded ok at low volume, but fell apart when goosed a li...

you can google what highly sensitive is before you comment I don’t need google to tell me that 89 db speakers with a minimum 4 ohm load is not considered highly efficient.... BTW, try the Parsifals with an SET and get back to me on how that wo...

What actually determines volume power? Is it watts?
As long as you aren’t straining or clipping the amp, it makes no difference where the volume knob ends up. As a matter of fact, you want to be using the least amount of attenuation for best sonics. Many people conflate gain and power. You could b...

they are highly sensitive speakers, why not a tube amp? Because they are not highly sensitive speakers. They aren't even mildly sensitive speakers.......

@jc4659  I have tried to drive this point home to the OP in two separate posts. I fear it will go unheeded.

Like I said above, probably not enough power. Make sure you can audition before purchase or buy it used.  
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Big difference indeed. Forming an opinion from a measurement is very foolish.

Your room is almost the same size as mine. Last year I briefly owned the Parsifal Ovation, great speaker BTW. I have my doubts that the XA25 will be enough. It depends on what you listen to and how loud. The Parsifal is a pretty demanding speaker ...

Countersinking the tweeters into the baffle would help a plenty also…..
