Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1


Hi Folks,

Do you think I would be okay with this match?

Pass with 60 class A and the Dynaudio C1's 85dB 4ohm.

I know the XA100.5 would be the best bet but at this time it is a pretty good step up in cost diff.

I am not in my permanent home yet and in transition but I know it will not be an overly large room (California prices) and I do not listen at insane levels. This is for a combined stereo/ht rig and I am currently using a Simaudio Titan for all five channels. If this works out I would like one more down the road for center and then a small two channel amp hidden in my av cabinet.

Thanks

My speakers are 87dB and 4ohm and my old XA100.5 were not ideal so I traded them for the XA160.5 through RENO HIFI. The extra power made a big difference. My room is small (16 X 15 X 7.5) and I don't listen too loudly, but I find the added power gave an effortlessness to the sound. It just sounds more real now. But going up the line is expensive. Look for a used pair.
