Owners of Pass Labs XA30.5


Hello Friends, I am using this amp for last two years and
my speakers are from Dynaudio Crafft which has 86 db in 4 ohms. My listening room size is 14x18x12 (WxLxH).
Always the amp play in AB mode. Some what I am missing class A playback. There is no budget to me go for XA 60.5. So, Please share your experience of your speakers which drives this amp.I am planning to changing the speakers. I saw some reviews recommending to go for 89 or 90 db speakers. But, I am confused to select the speakers and worried about the sound,synergy. My budget is usd 3-5k.- Thank you

Would an XA30.5 be adequate running my Montana XP speakers? 92 db @ 2 watts 4 Ohms multi driver 2x10" 2x7" 2x4" and 1 tweeter per speaker. Room size is 34x25, but I don't think I play it that loud.
John,

Thanks for your thoughts. I was using a tube integrated with 80 watts, but was considering the Pass as I'm getting sick of tubes. I also use a Velodyne DD-15 sub, so the bass is plenty as my Montanas are out in the center of the living room and actually lack in the low bass (<50Hz). My finances do not permit the XA60.5, but I could swing a used 30.5 Thanks
Thanks Onemug, I am quite close to my decision. The only other candidate is the Modwright KWA 150 SE. Anybody have any thoughts between the two?
