Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2?


I’ve Sasha 2 in a small room, connected to a pre ARC LS5 and a Symphonic Line Krafwerk as power amplifier. It’s a good chain, even if it lacks of fineness in the mid range and it has a small sound stage. I would like to substitute the Kraftwerk with the Pass XA30.8.
Does someone own this power unit connected with Sasha 2? Does XA30.8 have enough power?
Thanks for any feedback!

Pass Labs had recommended the X-250.8 (or INT-250) for my Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers, set-up in a 26' x 20' x 10' (H) Room. I had an X-250.5 for my Sophia 1 Speakers, set-up in the same Room, and it sounded perfect, while the less-powerful INT-150 did not - the volume had to be set at 90% + just for moderate listening levels, over-driving the Amplifier - and still couldn't provide the sound-quality of higher-powered Amplifiers. The Sasha 2, as with all Wilson Audio Speakers, need high-powered (high-quality) Amplification to sound their best, even when listening at low > moderate levels, in my experience.
