Pass Labs XA30.5 with Dynaudio Confidence 5

Hi All,

This may sound like a stupid question and most likely is, but do you think a Pass labs XA30.5 would drive Dynaudio Confidence 5 speakers OK? Speakers are in a small room (14ft by 14ft approx).

Listen mainly to soul / RNB / reggae / pop and a small amount of blues. No classical / folk.

Listen at moderate levels. Speakers sensitivity of 83db and rated at 4 ohms.

I have a chance of buying a mint condition second hand unit for a lot less than a new x250.5.

Thoughts please.

Regards

+1 on what Missioncoonery said. That amp is NOT for those speakers.

In fact, what Arned said is spot-on too. Those speakers were meant for serious watts that increase as your ohms go from 8, to 4, to 2. I would not even put a solid state amp on those speakers that was less than 250 watts (regardless of whether it was class A, class b, etc).

Great speakers, btw.
